Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Newman projections must be utilized to explain why trans-stilbene is the major product when (S)-1-bromo-1,2-diphenylethane is used.
Concept Introduction :
During the elimination reaction, anti-periplanar groups are removed to form a double bond. Newman projection is the representation of a molecule when it is viewed through a particular bond between two atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
Newman projections must be utilized to explain why trans-stilbene is the major product when (R)-1-bromo-1,2-diphenylethane is employed.
Concept Introduction :
During the elimination reaction, anti-periplanar groups are removed to form a double bond. Newman projection is the representation of a molecule when it is viewed through a particular bond between two atoms.

Identify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement. b. Would both alkenes form the same alkyl halide if DBr were used instead of HBr? (D is an isotope of H, so D+ reacts like H+.)arrow_forward10. Which of these describe a set of enantiomers? a. (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-chloropentane and (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2-chloropentane b. (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-chlorpentane and (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-chloropentane c.

When bromine adds to the double bond in cyclohexene, the resulting dibromide is trans. This stereochemistry is due to: a) The intermediate bromonium ion d) Markovnikov's rule b) the intermediate carbocation d) IUPAC rulesarrow_forwardDraw the structure of the major organic product of the reaction below. CH3 CH₂CHCH₂CH₂CH=CH₂ + CHC13 KOH • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Show stereochemistry in a meso compound. If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.arrow_forward10. Draw ALL possible stereoisomers possible for 8i. Give the configurations of each stereocenter in 8i.

H Br E2 conditions major product a. In 1-2 sentences, explain why only one constitutional isomer (regioisomer) forms. b. Explain why only one stereoisomer is possible for this E2 reaction. In your explanation, draw the conformation of the alkyl bromide that reacts to form product.arrow_forward+ Draw one of the two stereoisomers of the major product from this reaction. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers. Ignore inorganic byproducts. 1. BH 3-THF 2. H2O2, NaOH Qarrow_forward15. Which of the following carbocations is the most stable? a) ethyl carbocation, CH3CH2+ b) rpropyl carbocation, CH3CH2CH2* c) Isopropyl carbocation, (CH3)2CH* d) t-butyl carbocation, (CH3)3C+arrow_forward

If more than one stereoisomer of product is formed, draw both. Separate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu. Products that are initially formed as ions should be drawn in their neutral forms. DMF = dimethylformamidearrow_forward1A. What is the trend for carbocation stability? 1B. In the reaction of 2-hexene with HBr, which of the products is expected to be formed in a larger amount. Explain your answer. 1C. Why do carbocation rearrangements occur?arrow_forward
