- When carrying out this two step procedure (bromination and subsequent elimination) on cyclopentene, the lab students were surprised to find out that an alkyne was not the final product. What would the final product most likely be?arrow_forwardNAME and DRAW the STRUCTURE of ALL the alkenes which could undergo catalytic hydrogenation at 900°C to form methylcyclopentane. Circle the alkene with the HIGHEST stability and X the alkene with the HIGHEST heat of hydrogenation. Give reasons for your choice.arrow_forward1,3-pentadiene reacts with HBr. When the double bond at the 3-position reacts, the hydrogen attaches to the 4-carbon, thus forming an allylic carbocation with delocalized electrons. This carbocation has another resonance structure. Because there are equal amounts of diene and hydrogen bromide, in which molecule only one of the double bonds reacts. Which of the following correctly describes this new resonance structure? a) It has a double bond between carbons 3 and 4 b) It has a positive charge on carbon 2 c) It has a positive charge on carbon 4 d) It has a double bond between carbons 2 and 3arrow_forward
- Name (including E/Z stereochemistry) the five alkenes that can produce 3-bromo-3-methylhexane on reaction with HBr. Draw the skeletal structure of each molecule.arrow_forwardWhich of the following alkenes, upon reaction with Br2 in CCl4, produces a meso dibromo product?arrow_forwardTwo substitution products result from the reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1- butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +) in acetic acid under SN1. Identify the products.arrow_forward
- What would be the major product obtained from the reaction of Br2 with 1-butene if the reaction were carried out in the solvent dichloromethane? Draw the molecule.arrow_forwardWhich reaction would you expect to be faster, addition of HBr to cyclohexene or to 1-methylcyclohexane? Explain.arrow_forwardDraw the organic product that is expected to form when the following compound is oxidized under biological conditions. oxidation SH reduction • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • If no reaction occurs, draw the organic starting material.arrow_forward
- Which alkene reacts with a red-brown solution of bromine to form 1,2-dibromo-1-ethylcyclohexane.arrow_forwardWhen 2-bromobutane is reacted with CH3O-, two alkene products, namely 2-butene and 1-butene are obtained. Explain why the E2 reaction produces 2-butene as the major product (80%) and 1-butene as the minor product (20%)arrow_forwardHow many allylic substituted bromoalkenes are formed from the reaction of 2-pentene with NBS? Disregard stereoisomers.arrow_forward
