- When cyclohexene is reacted with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid, the major product is bromocyclohexane. There is a small amount of cyclohexyl acetate formed. What is the mechanism that forms both compounds? What is the purification procedure that isolates both compounds?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sequences of reactions would convert toluene to 2-bromo-4-cyanotoluene? Bromination, nitration, reduction, diazotization, reaction with cyanide anion Bromination, nitration, diazotization, reduction , reaction with cyanide anion Nitration, bromination, reduction, diazotization, reaction with cyanide anion Nitration, bromination, diazotization, reduction, reaction with cyanide anionarrow_forwardNonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forward
- Rank the reactivity of the compounds below toward nucleophilic acyl substitution by writing the compounds' letters in the proper blanks in the box below. `NH CI Br CH3 CH3 A В C E rank compounds for acyl substitution reactivity most least reactive reactivearrow_forwardBy taking into account electronegativity differences, draw the products formed by heterolysis of the carbon–heteroatom bond in each molecule. Classify the organic reactive intermediate as a carbocation or a carbanion.arrow_forwardWhat explains why many aldehydes and ketones can undergo self-condensation reactions in basic conditions? The alpha carbon can lose a proton and act like a nucleophile and the carbonyl carbon is an electrophile. The alpha carbon can gain a proton and act like an electrophile and the carbonyl carbon is a nucleophile. The oxygen of the carbonyl group can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group. Only esters can undergo self-condensation reactions.arrow_forward
