Question
Chapter 7.SE, Problem 69AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for the addition of HBr to 1-pentene is to be drawn. Both the curves, one for the formation of 1-bromopentane and another for the formation of 2-bromopentane, are to be shown in the same diagram indicating the positions of all the reactants, intermediates and products.The curve which has the higher-energy carbocation intermediate and that which has the higher-energy first transition state are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The carbocation II is more stable than I. Hence it is easily formed, has less energy and its formation will be more exergonic.

10. Draw an energy diagram for the addition of HBr to 1-pentene. Let one curve on your diagram show the
formation of 1-bromopentane product and another curve on the same diagram show the formation of 2-
bromopentane product. Draw and label the positions for all reactants, intermediates, and products.
Which curve has the higher-energy carbocation intermediate? Which curve has the higher-energy first
transition state?
For each reaction in question 20, sketch a reaction coordinate energy diagram indicating the starting materials, transition states and any intermediates, if present, in the reaction. Don't worry about the absolute energy of starting materials and products but you can assume that the product is more stable than the starting materials.

- H3C CH3 H3C NA C→XT Br Br₂ CH₂Cl₂ H3C Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br₂, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH₂Cl₂. CH3 Br In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
