Based on this data, which face would be more electronically favored? (These questions go hand in hand.)arrow_forwardDo hydration reactions like this one have Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov products? I know that for addition of halides on alkene double bonds, there are Markovnikov products becasue of 1,2-halide/methyl shifts, but there usually aren't shifts in hydration reactions. Essentially, would the Markovnikov/major product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the tertiary carbocation and the anti-Markovnikov/minor product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the adjacent secondary carbocation?arrow_forward

- Which of the following correctly describes the relative nucleophilicities of methoxide and tert-butoxide? tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it is more basic. Methoxide is more nucleophilic because the nucleophilicity of tert-butoxide is diminished by steric effects. These alkoxides have essentially the same nucleophilicities since the negative charge in both is localized on an oxygen atom. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because tert-butanol has a larger acid dissociation value than methanol. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it contains three methyl groups which increase the charge on its oxygen by donating electron density.arrow_forwardWhat are the relative rates of the following nucleophilic substitution reaction below.arrow_forwardWhen an unsymmetrical Alkenes such as propane is treated with N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, the major product has the bromine atom bonded to the less highly substituted carbon atom.
