- Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution: (a) C6H6, C6H5Cl, C6H5CHO; (b) C6H5CH3, C6H5NH2, C6H5CH2NH2.arrow_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
- The bicyclic alkene P can be prepared by thermal electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene Q or by photochemical electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene R. Draw the structures of Q and R, and indicate the stereochemistry of the process by which each reaction occurs.arrow_forwardAddition of HCl to alkene X forms two alkyl halides Y and Z. (A) Label Y and Z as a kinetic or thermodynamic product and explain why. (B) Explain why the addition of HCl occurs at the exocyclic C=C, rather than the other C=Carrow_forward(a) When cis-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane undergoes an E2 reaction, two products (cycloalkenes) are formed. What are these two cycloalkenes, and which would you expect to be the major product? Write conformational structures showing how each is formed. (b) When rans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane reacts in an E2 reaction, only one cyclo- alkene is formed. What is this product? Write conformational structures showing why it is the only product.arrow_forward

In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. CH3 CH3 CH3 Br Br CH,Cl, + Br2 or Br Br (a) (b) Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forwardDraw the product formed when each triene undergoes electrocyclic reaction under [1] thermal conditions; [2] photochemical conditions.arrow_forward
