- Under strongly acidic conditions, hexane is observed to undergo an isomerization process, during which it is converted into branched alkanes having the same molecular formula as hexane (C6H₁4). The rate at which each constitutional isomer is produced is related to the type of acid that is used in the reaction and the degree of mixing that occurs during the reaction (J. Chem. Soc., Perkins Trans. 2 1999, 12, 2715-2718). Step 1 Draw a bond-line structure of hexane. Draw Your Solution There are four branched isomers of hexane. Draw bond-line structures of all four of its isomers. Draw Your Solutionarrow_forward7.

- The relative reactivity of the 1°: 2°: 3° hydrogens of (CH3)3CCH2CH3 in free radical chlorination is 1: 3.8: 5.0. Provide the structure of each monochlorination product, and estimate the relative amount of each in the mixture of monochlorinated products.arrow_forward(iii) State whether you think each of the molecules A to D below is aromatic, anti-aromatic, or non- aromatic. Note that only one resonance form of each compound is drawn. Give your reasoning in each case.

Given what you know about the relative strengths of carbon-carbon sigma and pi bonds, would you predict the Diels-Alder reaction to be exothermic or endothermic? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward

- The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkene is first orderin Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this informationsuggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to analkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr?Explain.arrow_forwardAlthough benzene is normally written with three double bonds, benzene is not reactive towards many reagents that alkenes normally react with. This lack of reactivity can be explained by the unusual stability created by cyclic conjugation. (i) describe at least one of the physical properties of benzene that demonstrates how the true structure of benzene does match the way the structure is normally written (ii) explain how the unusual stability of benzenecan demonstrated by its thermodynamic properties through some form of experiment.
