Draw the major products obtained from the reaction of one equivalent of HBr with the following compounds. For each reaction, indicate the kinetic product and the thermodynamic product.
A 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 friendโs advice?
What is the major product when the methoxy substituent in the preceding reaction is bonded to C-2 of thediene rather than to C-1?
