The relative rates of reaction of ethane, toluene, and ethylbenzene with bromine atoms have
been measured. The most reactive hydrocarbon undergoes hydrogen atom abstraction a million times
faster than does the least reactive one. Arrange these hydrocarbons order of decreasing reactivity.
3-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with sodium methoxide in methanol to form 3-methoxy-2-methylpropene.
For each of the following changes in the reaction conditions, state whether the reaction rate would increase, decrease, or remain the same. Explain your reasoning. In some cases the identity of the major organic product would be expected to change; in such cases, give the expected major product.
(a) the same quantities of reagents are dissolved in half the volume of methanol
(b) 3-bromo-2-methylpropene is used in place of 3-chloro-2-methylpropene
(c) sodium methanethiolate (CH3SNa) is used in place of of sodium methoxide
Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can
abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process
known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by
losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl (
-OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a
nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions.
However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols
and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation
depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the
alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a
proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols
lose a proton more easily.
Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol.
Check all that apply.

- Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
