During the workup portion of the reaction of alkenes with HBr as described in the experiment provided, a student transferred the reaction mixture to a separatory funnel, rinsed the reaction flask with diethyl ether, and added the ether rinses to the separatory funnel. The student then added sodium bicarbonate to the separatory funnel. Extremely vigorous bubbling occurred. What did the student do wrong? Can they still isolate the product? If so describe the next steps the student should take to isolate the product.

CH3 CH3 Br- Br2 .CH3 CH2Cl2 CH3 H3C H3C Br Electrophilic addition of bromine, Brɔ, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. 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. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C H3C :Br: :Br:

Why must dehydration reactions of alcohols be carried out under acid catalysis? O 1) the hydroxide group is a poor leaving group and must be protonated to 1) generate a better leaving group. 2) the hydroxide group is a great leaving group and does not need to be protonated to generate a better leaving group. O 3) the acid isn't necessary for the reaction. O4) None of these are correct answers.
For the reaction shown, draw the major organic products and select the correct IUPAC name for the organic reactant. Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing both the wedge and dashed bonds. H HCI < Feedback The HCl adds to the alkene using Markovnikov's rule, giving a planar carbocation. The carbocation will react with the chloride ion to give a pair of enantiomeric products. Why? Determine E vs. Z alkenes by analyzing which substituents have the highest priority. If the highest priority substituents are on the same side of the alkene, it is Z.
