Concept introduction:
In
The stability of a carbocation depends mainly on two factors, the number of substituents on the same carbon and the number of atoms over which the charge may be delocalized. The higher the number of substituents on the carbocation, the more its stability. The more the number of atoms over which the charge is delocalized, the higher the stability o the carbocation.

- Will each of the following reactions follow an El or E2 mechanism? to to HO,arrow_forwardIf H* is eliminated from the carbocation shown here in an electrophile elimination step, then three possible constitutional isomers can form. Draw the mechanism for the formation of all three of those products. H2O + ?arrow_forwardThe reaction shown here proceeds via a carbocation rearrangement. Draw a complete, detailed mechanism to account for the product. Explain why the carbocation rearrangement is favorable. CH;OH Brarrow_forward
- Determine which mechanism below is the most correct. Be sure to look at whether the most acidic H is reacting, if the direction of the arrows are correct, and if the correct products are formed based on the mechanism. If the correct answer is Option B, then explain why the other options are incorrect? Explain each option that is incorrect individually.arrow_forwardEach pair of reactions, 1 and 2, will both go by the same mechanism, Sn1 or S2, say which. Explain why your choice of mechanism. Also, say which of the two in each you expect to go faster, or the same, and explain why your choice goes faster.arrow_forwardComplete all the reactions/show the products, and for each reaction clearly and thoroughly explain which mechanism (E1, E2, SN1, SN2) is predominant and how it effects the product formation.arrow_forward
- Determine which mechanism below is the most correct. Be sure to look at whether the most acidic H is reacting, if the direction of the arrows are correct, and if the correct products are formed based on the mechanism. If the correct answer is Option B, then explain why the other options are incorrect?arrow_forwardI need help with my answer to this problem, "This product shown is possible but it is not the major product due to carbocation intermediate undergoing methyl shift." Popped up and after 4 attempts at a solution I don't know how to solve this onearrow_forwardAs some of you textbooks say most have seen while reading/ watching outside sources, that SMI and El occur on 2° carbons (we said they only take place on 3°). Let's explore that concept we didn't learn. Draw the SNY and El product for the following reaction and assume that it will go through a car bocation intermediate. Using your knowledge about car bocations, draw the product to the SMI and El reactions, and draw the mechanism of each of these reactions, explaining how you got to each of these products Lenna 12₂0 substitution Products Mechanism for substitution product Mechanism for elimination product Elimination Productarrow_forward
