Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- (c) You conducted an experiment involving a hydrohalogenation reaction with starting material A and HBr. Product C was obtained as the major product of the reaction instead of the regioisomer product B which you expected. CH3 CH3 CH3 Br Br + HBr Product B Starting material A Product C (i) Suggest a detailed reaction mechanism to explain the formation of the major product C. (ii) Briefly explain why this unexpected major product C predominated in your reaction. Question 1 Continued (iii) 1,2-elimination of HBr from product C yields a mixture of two alkenes. Draw the structures of the two alkene products and briefly explain using Zaitsev's rule which alkene is the major one.arrow_forward(c) The E2 elimination of bromoalkane 8 produces a range of alkenes as shown below, answer ALL parts (i) to (iii) Br 8 Ph NaOMe Ph 9 + FOUR more alkenes (i) Identify the structure of the four other possible alkene products. (ii) Assign the stereochemistry (E/Z) for all FIVE alkenes and explain which is likely to be the major product. (iii) With an explanation identify which stereoisomer of 8 would give alkene 9?arrow_forwardFuran undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran.(a) Propose mechanisms for the bromination of furan at the 2-position and at the 3-position. Draw the resonance forms ofeach sigma complex, and compare their stabilities.(b) Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.O Br O123furan 2-bromofuranarrow_forward
- (a) The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane in the presence of AlCl3 occurs with a carbocation rearrangement. Give mechanistic explanation and the product formed. (b) Predict the product(s) will be formed from the following reactions: (i) Bromination of p-methylbenzoic acid (ii) Sulphonation of m-bromoanisole (iii) Friedel-craft acylation of o-bromonitrobenzenearrow_forward(3) HI does not undergo free radical addition with 1-butene, even in the presence of a peroxide. Please provide an explanation by analyzing the propagation steps if the same radical reaction occurred with HI. Besides the bond dissociation enthalpies in the appendix, the following approximate bond dissociate enthalpies might be useful to you: ~310 kJ/mol The component of C=C CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂-Br CH3CH₂CH₂CH2-I -290 kJ/mol (C-Br bond) ~235 kJ/mol (C-I bond)arrow_forwardThe treatment of (CH3)2C=CHCH2Br with H2O forms B (molecular formula C5H10O) as one of the products. Determine the structure of B from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forward
- Give the reaction mechanism showing all possible products for the following reactions: (a) Reaction of 1-propene with hydrogen bromide, HBr (9) (b) Reaction of ethene with bromine, Br2 (1)arrow_forward(a) Account for the following :(i) Electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly.(ii) Haloalkanes, though polar, are insoluble in water.(b) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of reactivity towards SN2 displacement:2-Bromo-2-Methylbutane, 1-Bromopentane, 2-Bromopentanearrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed dehydration of neopentyl alcohol, (CH3)3CCH2OH, yields 2-methyl-2- butene as the major product. Outline a mechanism showing all steps in its formation.arrow_forward
- Three compounds, A, B, and C, have the same molecular formula, C5H6. In the presence of a platinum catalyst, all three compounds absorb 3 molar equivalents of hydrogen and yield pentane. Compounds B and C give a precipitate when treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate; compound A give no reaction. Compounds A and B show an absorption maximum near 250 nm. Compound C shows no absorption maximum beyond 200 nm. Propose a structure for A, B, and C.arrow_forwardOn being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) produced a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each of which had the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of major isomer B or minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures and mechanisms for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forward(b) Answer BOTH parts (i) and (ii). (i) Using your knowledge of silicon chemistry, explain why the synthesis of a compound containing a formal Si=0 double bond is challenging. (ii)Bearing in mind your answer to part (i), suggest a synthetic route to a silanone, R2Si=O, starting from silicon tetrachloride SiCl4 and using any other reagents you choose. Identify all reagents and side-products in your synthetic route and specify your chosen R group, giving reasons for your choice.arrow_forward
