Interpretation:
Given that addition of HBr to a double bond with an ether substituent occurs regiospecifically to give a product in which the –Br and –OR are bonded to the same carbon. Two carbocation intermediates possible in this electrophilic addition reaction are to be drawn. The formation of the product is to be explained using the concept of resonance.
Concept introduction:
In electrophilic addition reactions the first step involves the abstraction of the positively polarized hydrogen of H-Br by the π electrons of the double bond to yield a more stable carbonium ion eliminating the bromine as bromide ion. In the second step the bromide ion attacks the carbocation to yield the product.
To draw:
The structures of the two carbocation intermediates possible in the electrophilic addition of HBr into methoxy cyclohexene.
To explain:
The formation of the regiospecific product using the concept of resonance.

- 1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia. (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile? (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?arrow_forwardBased on the hydrogenation reaction information, how many different alkene structures can you draw that could be Compound X?

Depending on the substitution pattern around the C= C, the reaction may lead to one major product or a mixture of many products. For each pair of alkene substrates, draw all metathesis products formed. (Disregard any starting materials that may also be present at equilibrium.) With reference to the three examples, discuss when alkene metathesis with two different alkenes is a synthetically useful reaction. a. CH;CH2CH=CH2 b. C. CH,CH,CH,CH=CH,arrow_forward
