Question
Chapter 8.SE, Problem 47AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Given that cis- and trans-isomers of 2-butene give different cyclopropane products in the Simmons-Smith reaction. The structures of both the products are to be given and the difference is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The reaction given is an example of Simmons-Smith reaction. When CH2I2 is treated with Zn/Cu couple, iodomethylzinc iodide, ICH2ZnI, is formed. This ICH2ZnI transfers a CH2 group to the double bond in
To give:
The structures of the products produced when cis- and trans-isomers of 2-butene react in Simmons-Smith reaction and to explain the difference.

The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkenes is first order in Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same matter as for addition of HBr? Explain.
(1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many isomers can be formed in each case?
(2) Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Draw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.
Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H₁4.
Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane.
The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y.
Both X and Y react with HCI to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product.
What is the structure of X?
