A student was about to turn in the products he had obtained from the reaction of HI with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene when he realized that the labels had fallen off his flasks and he did not know which label belonged to which flask. His friend reminded him of the rule that says the electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most hydrogens. In other words, he should label the flask containing the most product 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodopropane and label the flask containing the least amount of product 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-iodopropane. Should he follow his friend’s advice?

Electrophilic aromatic substitutions proceed in two stages. 1. Attack of the aromatic ring on the electrophile. 2. Regeneration of the stable aromatic system by loss of a positively charged unit, usually a proton. Br Br₂/FeBr3 Draw one resonance structure for the intermediate formed when the electrophile is attacked by benzene in the reaction above. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.
Why does acrylonitrile (A) react faster with 1,3-butadiene in a pericyclic reaction than methyl vinylether (B)? Check all that apply. CEN A O 1. The bond lenght between carbon and nitrogen is greater than the bond lenght between carbon and oxygen which brings the bulky cyano group further away from the carbon-carbon double bond. That reduces sterical O 2. The LUMO of acrylonitrile (A) is has a lower energy than the LUMO of methyl vinylether (B) which makes the reaction go faster O 3. The high electronegativity of the oxygen atom in ether B polarizes the carbon-carbon double bond which reduces the reaction rate. O 4. The boiling point of nitrile A is higher than the boiling point of ether B, therefore the reaction can be carried out at a higher temperature which accelerates the reaction. hindrance and accelerates the reaction.

20. a. Label the reactive features, highlight the most reactive one, then highlight what it needs. Also, state if the reaction will start to create a carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion, or will cause loss of aromatic character. If a carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion starts to develop, label where that will occur. HN- CH3 with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane + AICI, b. Use mechanism arrows to illustrate the reaction that occurs. c. If applicable, use stabilization resources to deal with the carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion that starts to develop during the reaction, and draw the structure of any resonance-stabilized intermediate. d. Continue labeling and diagramming the reaction until you find the major stable product(s). e. Finally, state the stereochemistry of the major product(s) and use either Fisher projection or perspective formula representations to illustrate that stereochemistry.

When HCI, HBr, and HI were used as HX in the next reaction, the rates of all reactions were almost the same. below Answer the question. OH HX CH3 CH3 H2O (1) Show the ions that act as each nucleophile in order from the one that is considered to have the highest nucleophilic reactivity. (2) Explain the reason why you thought that the order was (1). (3) Explain why the reaction rates were almost the same regardless of which HX was used. (4) Nax was used instead of HX, but the reaction did not proceed. Explain the reason for this.
