Draw an energy diagram for each reaction. Label the axes, the starting material, product, transition state, ΔH°, and Ea.
a. a concerted reaction with ΔH° = –80 kJ/mol and Ea = 16 kJ/mol
b. a two-step reaction, A → B → C, in which the relative energy of the compounds is A < C < B, and the step A → B is rate-determining
Consider this reaction:
Br
CH;OH
Br-Br
H3CO
The mechanism proceeds through a first cationic intermediate, intermediate 1. Nucleophilic attack leads to intermediate 2, which goes on to form the final product. In cases that involve a
negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product.
