Interpretation: In the oxymercuration-demercuration reaction, a nucleophile other than water can be used. In the given reaction mechanism, the product is to be interpreted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reactions are the chemical reactions that show the addition of a certain group or molecule to the unsaturated carbon atoms. Alkenes are the unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one double bond between the carbon atoms. Therefore, they tend to give addition reactions. Some examples of addition reactions are acid-catalyzed hydration, oxymercuration-demercuration, etc.

- Draw the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in the following electrophilic substitution reaction. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Include all valence lone pairs in your answer.arrow_forwardWrite the main product(s) that will be formed as a result of the following reaction, together with its mechanism.arrow_forwarda) Consider the reaction of HBr with ethylene and propylene. At roomtemperature the reaction of propylene with HBr is much faster than thereaction with ethylene.Using reaction energy diagrams and your knowledge of carbocationstability explain why this is so. b) Xylene (dimethylbenzene) is a commonly used chemical in the printingindustry and as a cleaning solvent for oily waste. It is also used whenpreparing histological samples to remove waxes from biological samples.Draw the three possible structures for this compound and give the UPACnames for each. Define which structures are ortho, meta, and para.arrow_forward

Determine the structure of the alkyl halide and write the overall reaction mechanism.arrow_forwardWrite the mechanism and all the products to this reactionarrow_forwardFor the following reactions, design the experimental conditions that willlead to the suggested major products. Suggest actual reagents, solvents, nucleophile/base, concentration of nucleophile/base and what mechanism it is. Do not just use descriptors.arrow_forward
- Your answer is incorrect. Predict the relative rates of these reactions. That is, select 1 next to the reaction with the fastest rate, 2 next to the reaction with the next fastest rate, and so on. Note for advanced students: you may assume these reactions all take place in a polar aprotic solvent, like DMSO. Incorrect Your answer is incorrect. Predict the relative rates of these reactions.
