(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediate (A) formed by the reactants has to be identified. The mechanism for the formation of intermediate has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Base abstracts an acidic proton to form a negatively charged species. The negative charged species is called nucleophile. The carbon which is attached to the electronegative atom is called the electrophilic carbon.
In the
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the conversion of A to B has to be shown. The compound which formed more rapidly has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The reaction which takes place between two or more than two atoms which are present in the same molecule are called the intramolecular reactions.

Which reaction would be faster and why? Use words like "transition-state, intermediate and/or reactant/product stability" in your justification. Draw the reaction coordinate diagram for both to assist in your explanation.arrow_forward18. In a bisubstrate reaction, reactant A binds, followed by reactant B which then get converted to products C and D. An experiment showed that B cannot bind without A having bound first. What bisubstrate mechanism is indicated by this data? Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forward3. Draw the complete mechanism and use the mechanism to predict the major product(s). Include stereochemistry where appropriate. a. b. H-Br -78 °C H-Br -78 °C H-Br 40 °Carrow_forward
- Compound A reacts with B in the presence of sodium hydride to give C as the majority product.1. Give the detailed mechanism of the formation of C and draw the product C in the box above.2. Draw the energy diagram of the reaction. Indicate with an arrow the rate-determining step of the reaction then draw its transition state3.The rate of the reaction observed is 5 x 10-2 M.s-1 when the concentrations of A and B are 0.2 M and 0.1 M respectively.Determine the rate of the reaction if the concentrations of A and B are now 0.3 M and 0.2 M respectively.

Show the mechanism for the formation of Intermediate A. )ii. Show the mechanism for the rearrangement of A to B. Explain why the reaction does NOT occur readily in basic solution using your mechanism from 2.aarrow_forward3,) you have now eliminated one substitution site and should have two possible sites remaining. Provide a mechanism for the formation of each of the two remaining products. You should include all possible. Resident structures for the cat on intermediates. There should be four resident structures in each mechanism. You do not need to show the mechanism for the formation of the electrify you may assume that only a single iodine will add to the ring. a. b.
