5. The alkene shown reacts with an excess of HBr via an electrophilic addition reaction.
A. 3,5-dibromo-2-methylhexane
B. 2,5-dibromo-2-methylhexane
C. 2,6-dibromo-2-methylhexane
D. 3,6-dibromo-2-methylhexane
SECTION B
1. Bromine reacts with butane in the presence of ultraviolet light to form bromobutane. Two
structural isomers with the molecular formula C4H9Br are produced during this reaction.
Draw the two structural isomers and state the systematic name of each isomer
4. Explain why the two bromoalkanes are not produced in equal amounts by this reaction.
because there is a major and minor product. Major is stable, so we can get bromo propane
more stable [2]
5. Draw the three- dimensional structures of
the two optical
isomers of R.
Dichloromethane, CH2Cl 2, is widely used as an organic solvent. CH2Cl 2 can be prepared by reacting
CH3Cl and Cl 2 at room temperature. The reaction proceeds via several steps, as shown
