(a)
Interpretation:
- The kinetic and
thermodynamic products of the given reaction has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Reactions of conjugated dienes:
An electrophilic addition reaction to a conjugated diene forms both
Kinetic and thermodynamic products:
Kinetic product: The more rapidly formed product is called the kinetic product. The reactions that produce the kinetic product as the major product are said to be kinetically controlled. The kinetic product predominates when the reaction is irreversible.
Thermodynamic product: The more stable product is called the thermodynamic product. The reactions that produce the thermodynamic product as the major product are said to be thermodynamically controlled. The thermodynamic product predominates when the reaction is reversible. The thermodynamic product is the product with the most highly substituted double bond.
Rule: The stabilities of carbocation are,

- Which alkene product would you expect to be the major product under kinetic conditions? Under thermodynamic conditions? The given pictures are the reactions in which we have to determine which alkene product we expect would be the major product under kinetic and thermodynamic conditions.arrow_forwardReaction of but-1-ene with HBr gives two products in unequal amounts. In each case, identify the two products, state which is the major product, explain why it is the major product and give the mechanism for its formation.arrow_forwardWrite the expected substitution product(s) for each reaction and predict the mechanism by which each product is formedarrow_forward
- What is the major product obtained from the reaction of HBr with each of the following?arrow_forwardWhen cyclohexene is reacted with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid, the major product is bromocyclohexane. There is a small amount of cyclohexyl acetate formed. What is the mechanism that forms both compounds? What is the purification procedure that isolates both compounds?arrow_forwardOct-1-yne (HC≡CCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3) reacts rapidty with NaH, forming a gas that bubbles out of the reaction mixture, as one product. Oct-1-yne also reacts rapidty with CH3MgBr, and a different gas is produced. Write balanced equations for both reactions and identify the gases formed.arrow_forward
- Predict the products of the following reactions. Include stereochemistry when necessary. For reactions with more than one step show the product formed after each step.arrow_forwardWhat five-carbon alkene forms the same product whether it reacts with HBr in the presence of a peroxide or with HBr in the absence of a peroxide?arrow_forwardTwo products are formed when methylenecyclohexane reacts with NBS? Show how each is formed. Disregard stereoisomers.arrow_forward
- Predict the products of the following reaction. Include stereochemistry when necessary. For reactions with more than one step show the product formed after each step.arrow_forwardDraw the two major organic products of the reaction in ether. Show the stereochemistry of the products. Are the products single enantiomers or racemic mixtures?arrow_forwardDehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.arrow_forward
