Textbook QuestionA student wanted to know whether the greater proximity of the nucleophile to the C-2 carbon in the transition state is what causes the 1,2-addition product to be formed faster when 1,3-butadiene reacts with HCl. Therefore, she decided to investigate the reaction of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene with HCl. Her friend told her that she should use 1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene instead. Should she follow her friend's advice?373views
Textbook QuestionThe experiment shown next and discussed in Section 8.13 shows that the proximity of the chloride ion to C-2 in the transition state causes the 1,2-addition product to form more rapidly than the 1,4-addition product. a. Why was it important for the investigators to know that the preceding reaction was being carried out under kinetic control?378views

Textbook QuestionPropose a mechanism for each reaction, showing explicitly how the observed mixtures of products are formed. (c) cyclopenta-1,3-diene + Br2 —> 3,4-dibromocyclopent-1-ene + 3,5-dibromocyclopent-1-ene194views
Textbook QuestionWhen Br2 is added to buta-1,3-diene at -15 °C, the product mixture contains 60% of product A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 °C, the product ratio is 10% A and 90% B.(d) If you had a solution of pure A, and its temperature were raised to 60 °C, what would you expect to happen? Propose a mechanism to support your prediction.217views
