- Which mechanism is going to predominate under these conditions? A SN1 В SN2 HCI HO or C E1 D E2arrow_forwardPredict the product(s) of the following reactions and identify the mechanism of each elimination reaction (E1 vs E2). If multiple products are possible, label each product as major, minor, or very minor. Draw the reaction mechanism (reaction arrows) for any one of the reactions to explain how the product is formed.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction scheme (note that the reagent shown above the arrow is DBN"). Draw in the expected major product AND indicate what mechanism the reaction will follow. Product: Mechanism:arrow_forward
- Predict the product of the reaction below. Use curved arrows to show the reaction mechanismarrow_forwardDraw the mechanism and the energy diagram for the reaction shown below. Include any resonance structures for the intermediates of the reaction. H3O+arrow_forwardThe epoxide shown below can form two different products depending on which reaction condition is used. What are the products of each of these reactions? BRIEFLY explain why you get different products depending on the reaction conditions. By far, the easiest way to do this is to show the mechanism for the key step in each reaction and clearly explain this step. HCH₂CH3 CH3 D н’ CH3OHarrow_forward
- The Wolff–Kishner reaction uses hydrazine (H2NNH2) and hydroxide (–OH) to reduce a carbonyl to the alkane. The first steps of the mechanism convert a carbonyl to a hydrazone in a manner similar to imine formation. Draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction from the hydrazone to the alkane. Be sure to add lone pairs of electrons and nonzero formal charges to all species.arrow_forward5a) Draw the product(s) of the reaction shown below. Additionally, identify the nucleophile, electrophile and leaving group.arrow_forwardPropose a mechanism and predict the products for each reaction. For reactions where more than one product can form, draw all possible products and predict which would be the major product.arrow_forward
- Complete the following reactions by providing the missing product(s). Determine what mechanism operates in each case (SN1, SN2, E1, or E2). Show the stereochemistry of the product(s) where appropriate. If more than one product is formed circle the major one.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the addition of a nucleophile to the O atom of a C=0 group is allowed or forbidden. If you determine that it is allowed, would you expect that elementary step to take place? Why or why not?arrow_forwardDraw the neutral organic starting material. The Hint: The reaction conditions support electrophilic addition of Br2 to an alkene's C=C double bond, which would normally yield a dibromo product. However, the product has only one bromine atom, with a C–O bond on the adjacent carbon. This fragment is diagnostic for a halohydrin, where an oxygen nucleophile (water or alcohol) reacts with a bromonium intermediate to generate the O–CH2CH2–Br motif. Work backwards to determine what the starting material must look like. There should be an alcohol and an alkene in the neutral organic starting material.arrow_forward
