3-Bromocyclohexene is a secondary halide, and benzyl bromide is a primary halide. Both halides undergo SN1 substitution about as fast as most tertiary halides. Use resonance structures to explain this enhanced reactivity.
Cinnamoyl chloride (C9H7CIOO) can be prepared by the two-step sequence shown below.
Reaction 1: C7H60 + CAH6O3 C9H8O2 + C2H402
Reaction 2: C9H&O2 + SOC2 → C9H7oci + sO2 + HCI

What is the percent atom economy for the synthesis of cinnamoyl chloride? Enter an answer accurate to three
significant figures.
Number
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution involves the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate
called a Meisenheimer complex as the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon carrying the eventual leaving
group; electron-withdrawing groups ortho and/or para to the site of attack help to stabilize this structure
via resonance.
For the reaction below, draw the structure of the stabilized reaction intermediate in the box below.

• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Draw the Meisenheimer complex with a formal charge of 0 on the nucleophilic atom. If more than
one resonance structure is possible, only draw the most important one.

- In the presence of excess base and excess halogen, a methyl ketone is converted to a carboxylate ion. The reaction is known as the haloform reaction because one of the products is haloform (chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform). Before spectroscopy became a routine analytical tool, the haloform reaction served as a test for methyl ketones: the formation of iodoform, a bright yellow compound, signaled that a methyl ketone was present. Why do only methyl ketones form a haloform?arrow_forwardDiphenylacetylene can be synthesized by the double dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene. The sequence starting from (E)-1,2-diphenylethene consists of bromination to give the dibromide, followed by dehydrohalogenation to give a vinylic bromide, then a second dehydrohalogenation to give diphenylacetylene.(a) What is the structure, including stereochemistry, of the vinylic bromide?(b) If the sequence starts with (Z)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene, what is (are) the structure(s) of the intermediate dibromide(s)?

The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH,Cl). 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.
