peroxides (ROOR). What function does the peroxide serve Section: 8.3
in this reaction?
A) nucleophile
B) electrophile
C) radical chain initiator
D) acid catalyst
E) solvent
Predict the major product of the following reaction. Answer: B
Section: 8.3
Name the major product which results when HBr is added Answer: 3-bromo-3-ethylhexane
to 3-ethyl-3-hexene. Section: 8.3
Provide the structure of the major organic product of the Section: 8.3
reaction below.
Provide the major organic product of the reaction below. Section: 8.3

Draw the major organic product generated in the reaction Section: 8.3
below. Pay particular attention to regio- and
stereochemical detail.
Based on the relative stabilities of the intermediates Answer: The rate-determining step in this reaction is the production of a carbocation
involved, explain the basis for Markovinkov's rule in the intermediate. Since this step is endothermic, Hammond's postulate allows one to
addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes. gauge the relative stabilities of the transition states by comparing the relative
stabilities of the carbocation intermediates. The reaction pathway which produces
the more substituted carbocation will thus occur more rapidly.
Section: 8.3
Complete the following reaction and provide a detailed, Section: 8.3
step-by-step mechanism for the process.
, When propylene reacts with hydrogen bromide in the Section: 8.3
presence of a peroxide initiator, which of the following
structures are formed during the mechanism?
A)
B)
C)
D) H∙
Provide the structure of the major organic product of the Section: 8.3
reaction below.
Draw the major regioisomeric product generated in the Section: 8.3
reaction below.

Draw the major organic product generated in the reaction Section: 8.3
below. Pay particular attention to regio- and
stereochemical detail.
Explain the regioselectivity observed in the radical addition Answer: The reaction proceeds via the addition of Br∙ to the alkene. Two competing
of HBr to 2-methylpropene. pathways are possible, but the transition state leading to the more substituted alkyl
radical is lower in energy. This process ultimately makes the addition anti-
Markovnikov in nature.
Section: 8.3
When 3,6-dimethylcyclohexene is reacted with dry Section: 8.3
gaseous HBr, one of the products is 1-bromo-1,4-
dimethylcyclohexane. Provide a detailed step-by-step
mechanism to explain the formation of this product
The following reaction is known to proceed by a free Answer: ROOR → 2 RO∙
radical chain mechanism. Suggest a reasonable, step-by-
step mechanism for this reaction. RO∙ + HCCl3 → ROH + ∙CCl3
CH3CHCH2 + CHCl3 CH3CH2CH2CCl3 Cl3C∙ + CH2CHCH3 → Cl3CCH2CH3
Cl3CCH2CH3 + HCCl3 → Cl3CCH2CH2CH3 + ∙CCl3
Section: 8.3
Draw the major organic product generated in the reaction Section: 8.4
below. Pay particular attention to regio- and
stereochemical detail.
The mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes Answer: microscopic reversibility
is simply the reverse of the mechanism by which alcohols Section: 8.4
are dehydrated using concentrated acid. This is an
illustration of the principle of ________.
