Q: When benzene is treated with 2 in the presence of CuCl2,
When benzene is treated with 2 in the presence of CuCl2, iodination of the ring is achieved with modest yields. It is believed that CuCl2 interacts with 2 to generate +, which is an excellent electrop...
See AnswerQ: Draw a mechanism for the following reaction. Hint: This reaction
Draw a mechanism for the following reaction. Hint: This reaction is the reverse of sulfonation, so you should read the sulfonation mechanism backward. Your mechanism should involve a sigma complex (po...
See AnswerQ: When benzene is treated with D2SO4, a deuterium atom replaces one
When benzene is treated with D2SO4, a deuterium atom replaces one of the hydrogen atoms. Propose a mechanism for this reaction. Once again, make sure that your mechanism involves a sigma complex.
See AnswerQ: Draw a mechanism for the following reaction and make sure to draw
Draw a mechanism for the following reaction and make sure to draw all three resonance structures of the sigma complex:
See AnswerQ: Predict the expected product(s) when benzene is treated with
Predict the expected product(s) when benzene is treated with each of the following alkyl halides in the presence of AlCl3. In each case, assume conditions have been controlled to favor monoalkylation....
See AnswerQ: Draw a mechanism for the following reaction, which involves two consecutive
Draw a mechanism for the following reaction, which involves two consecutive Friedel–Crafts alkylations.
See AnswerQ: A Friedel–Crafts alkylation is an electrophilic aromatic substitution in which
A Friedel–Crafts alkylation is an electrophilic aromatic substitution in which the electrophile (E+) is a carbocation. In previous chapters, we have seen other methods of forming car...
