- When the reaction mixture in Problem 9.66 is heated, the compounds shown here are produced. Draw the complete, detailed mechanism that accounts for the formation of each of these products.arrow_forward(b) Show the mechanism of this reaction using proper arrow push notation. You must show all intermediates, formal charges, and necessary arrows. CH3 CH3 CH3 H20 H2SO4arrow_forwardWhen treated with NaOH, the bromide below gives an alkene by the E2 mechanism, by elimination of the H atom indicated by the arrow: (a) Draw the Newman projection from which elimination takes place. (b) Draw the mechanism. (c) Draw the product with the proper stereochemistry. (d) Assign the proper stereochemical descriptor to the product. (e) Give the rate equationarrow_forward
- For each reaction, give the expected substitution product, and predict whether the mechanism will be predominantly first order (SN1) or second-order (SN2). (a) cyclohexyl bromide + sodium ethoxidearrow_forwardDraw a plausible mechanism for the following reactions, showing relevant lone pairs and arrow pushing. Do not consider stereochemistry in your mechanism. a) H,SO4, EtOH b) OH H,SO, Heatarrow_forwardFor each reaction, draw the complete mechanism and the major organic product(s), paying attention to stereochemistry. (a) (b) OH LOH (еxcess) ? ? CH,Cl2 CH2CI2arrow_forward
- Consider the addition of HBr shown here. HBr (a) Draw all four carbocation intermediates possible from protonation of the diene. (b) Identify the most stable carbocation. (b) Draw both halogenated products formed by attack of Br, on the most stable carbocation. (c) Which of those products would you expect to be formed in the greatest amount at low temperatures? (d) Which would you expect to be formed in the greatest amount at high temperatures?arrow_forward5a) Draw the product(s) of the reaction shown below. Additionally, identify the nucleophile, electrophile and leaving group.arrow_forwardIn the following electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the major product results in the substitution occurring at the 2 position. Starting from each potential carbocation intermediate shown, (a) draw the possible resonance structures and (b) explain why the major product is favored. Br 4 Br2 5 Br major product minor product + Br Br 2. LOarrow_forward
- Predict the product(s) of the following reactions, including stereochemistry when necessary and identify the mechanism of each substitution reaction (SN1 vs SN2). Draw the reaction mechanism (reaction arrows) for any one of the reactions to show how the product is formed.arrow_forwardFor each reaction, give the expected substitution product, and predict whether the mechanism will be predominantly first order (SN1) or second order (SN2). (a) cyclohexyl bromide + methanolarrow_forwardConsider the intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction shown here. Does the stereochemistry of the product suggest an Sn1 or SŅ2 mechanism? Draw the complete mechanism for this reaction, including curved Br OH NaOH CH3 H3C CH3 Br H3C H arrows.arrow_forward
