Bromine adds to cis- and trans-2-butene to give different diastereomers of 2,3-dibromobutane. What does this say about the mode of addition of bromine to thisalkene?
Reaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products: cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. The analogous reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1, 2-dibromocyclohexane as the soleproduct. Draw structures of the possible intermediates, and then explain why only a single product is formed in this reaction.
Addition of HBr to allene (CH2=C=CH2) forms 2-bromoprop-1-ene ratherthan 3-bromoprop-1-ene, even though 3-bromoprop-1-ene is formed froman allylic carbocation. Considering the arrangement of orbitals in theallene reactant, explain this result.
