Chapter 5, Problem 42P

(a) Assuming that the rate-determining elementary step in the reaction of trans-4-methylcyclohexanol with hydrogen bromide is unimolecular, write an equation for this step. Use curved arrows to show electron flow.

b) Two stereoisomers of 1-bromo-4-methylcyclohexane are formed when trans-4-methylcyclohexanol reacts with hydrogen bromide. Write a separate equation for the elementary step that gives each stereoisomer.

1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia.           (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile?           (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?
Consider the reaction of NaCl with 2- bromo-2-methylhexane in acetone/water. Predict the change in rate if the concentrations of both the 2-bromo-2- methylhexane and the NaCl are doubled. A) The reaction rate stays the same. B) The reaction rate doubles. C) The reaction rate is halved. D) The reaction rate quadruples E) The reaction rate triples.
Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol gives three alkenes: 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, and 2,3-dimethyl-1- butene. Draw the structure of the carbocation intermediate leading to the formation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. C P opy aste ChemDoodle >
