Chapter 6: Q100P (page 287)

What stereoisomers are obtained when (S)-3-methyl-1-pentene reacts with Cl2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The formation of the stereoisomer is trans-1,2dichloro-(S)-3-methyl- pentane.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are those which has the same linkage with the main group but their orientation is space are different.

02

Reaction mechanism

The structure of parent molecule is S. so it is given by,

So, the formation of the product is trans-1,2dichloro-(S)-3-methyl- pentane.

a. Identify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.

b. Would both alkenes form the same alkyl halide if DBr were used instead of HBr? (D is an isotope of H, so D+ reacts like H+.)

Each of the following reactions has two nucleophiles that could add to the intermediate formed by the reaction of the alkene with an electrophile. What is the major product of each reaction

Which compound is hydrated more rapidly?

Draw the mechanism for the reaction of cyclohexene with HCl

The second-order rate constant (in units of M-1 s-1) for acid-catalysed hydration at 25 °C is given for each of the following alkenes:

a. Calculate the relative rates of hydration of the alkenes. (Hint: Divide each rate constant by the smallest rate constant of the series: 3.51 × 10-8.)

b. Why does (Z)-2-butene react faster than (E)-2-butene?

c. Why does 2-methyl-2-butene react faster than (Z)-2-butene?

d. Why does 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene react faster than 2-methyl-2-butene?
