- Bicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forwardReaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products: cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. The analogous reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1, 2-dibromocyclohexane as the soleproduct. Draw structures of the possible intermediates, and then explain why only a single product is formed in this reaction.arrow_forwardSteps for Converting 3-bromocyclohexene to 3methenecyclohexenearrow_forward
- Which isomer of 1-bromo-3-isopropylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide, the cis isomer or the trans isomer? Draw the structure of the expected product from the faster-reacting compound.arrow_forwardAddition of HBr to allene (CH2 = C = CH2) forms 2-bromoprop-1-ene rather than 3-bromoprop-1-ene, even though 3-bromoprop-1-ene is formed from an allylic carbocation. Considering the arrangement of orbitals in the allene reactant, explain this result.arrow_forwardAddition of HBr to allene (CH2=C=CH2) forms 2-bromoprop-1-ene rather than 3-bromoprop-1-ene, even though 3-bromoprop-1-ene is formed from an allylic carbocation. Considering the arrangement of orbitals in the allene reactant, explain this result.arrow_forward
- Draw the expected major product when 1-octene reacts with Cl2 in aqueous solution (with H2O as the solvent).arrow_forwardDraw an approximate reaction-energy diagram showing the curves for the two possible pathways for ionic addition of HBr to 1-methylcyclohexene. (a) Formation of the major product, 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, and (b) formation of the minor product, 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. Point out how these curves show that 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane should be formed fasterarrow_forwardRadical bromination of propene using NBS gives 3-bromo-1-propene. Draw the allylic radical intermediate formed during this reaction, showing both resonance structures.arrow_forward
- Draw a structural formula for the alkene with the molecular formula C5H10 that reacts with Br2 to give each product.arrow_forwardWhat are the major products(s) formed by treating 1,2-dimethyl cyclopentene with Br2?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the four allylic halides formed when 3-methylcyclohexene undergoes allylic halogenation with NBS + hv.arrow_forward
