Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The by-products of the given reaction are to be drawn and the movement of electrons is to be shown by using curved arrow notation.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, the proton is abstracted from the beta carbon to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions and by-products are also possible.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The effect of the given change on the reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, substituents which are adjacent to each other are eliminated from an alkyl halide to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions.

Draw the energy diagram of the following reaction (label and draw reactants, intermediates, and products). Label transition state of the rate limiting step and draw the transition state of the rate determining step. Is it a concerted or stepwise reaction? Write the rate law for this reaction. How do we increase the reaction rate? If we use deutrium-tert-butyl bromide such as (CD3)3CBr instead of (CH3)3CBr, will it increase or decrease the reaction rate? Or there is no meaningful rate change. Write reasons for your answer. Draw mechanisms for reactions by drawing arrows and intermediates.
Br CH2 HBr CH3 Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the reaction mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions CH2 Н— Br:
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 negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product. H. Br + CH3OH Br Intermediate 2 (product) Intermediate 1 In a similar fashion, draw intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 (final product) for the following reaction. OCH3 Cl2 MEOH ĆI racemic mixture Pay attention to the reactants, they may differ from the examples. In some reactions, one part of the molecule acts as the nucleophile. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 using the the dropdown menu. → symbol from
