Concept introduction:
A molecule can have both nucleophilic and electrophilic centers. An electrophilic center must be electron-deficient and can form a bond with a nucleophile. Here the nucleophile is an electron-rich species that can react with cation or any other electrophile. The

Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2; to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion.
The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH,Cl).
In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes,
the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

The a-bromination of carbonyl compounds by Br2 in acetic acid is limited to aldehydes and ketones because acids, esters, and amides don't enolize to a sufficient extent. Carboxylic acids, however, can
be a-brominated by first converting the carboxylic acid to an acid bromide by treatment with PBr3. Following enolization of the acid bromide, Br2 reacts in an a-substitution reaction. Hydrolysis of the
acid bromide completes the reaction.

- The following bicyclic ketone has two -carbons and three -hydrogens. When this molecule is treated with D2O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three -hydrogens exchange with deuterium. The -hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange. How do you account for the fact that two -hydrogens do exchange but the third does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of -hydrogens occurs.arrow_forwardAlcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene.

You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.arrow_forwardNucleophilic aromatic substitution involves the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate called a Meisenheimer complex as the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon carrying the eventual leaving group; electron-withdrawing groups ortho and/or para to the site of attack help to stabilize this structure via resonance.
