Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the variation in the stereochemistry of addition as the alkene structure varied is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Addition of halogens into alkenes is stereoselective, that is, it depends upon the type of the alkene present. If the alkene is a cis-alkene, anti-addition of halide ions take place and a racemic mixture is formed. If the alkene is a trans-alkene, syn-addition of halide ions occur and a meso compound is formed.

The rate law for addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene is first order in Br2Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr? Explain.
5) Compound A reacted with Mg in ether to give B. Compound B is with Ethyl bromide to give Ethyl cyclohexane. What are the structures of A and B?
4-methyl-3-hexanol was prepared by reacting an alkene with either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction. Draw the structure of the alkene that was used to prepare the alcohol in highest yield. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Indicate the method of preparation by drawing either BH3 (for . If there is more than one alkene that can be used for a given method, draw all of them. If either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction can be used, just give the structures for one method. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. ● 981 -- 26224 ?
