Detaile mechanisms for reactions
« on: April 29, 2004, 09:09:48 AM »
1. Propose a detailed mechanism for the reaction of propene with aqueous bromine and provide the IUPAC names of the resulting product(S)?

2. Propose a detailed mechanism for the reaction of propane with chlorine in the presence of light. Discuss in detail why a secondary alkyl halide predominates?

Thanx again!  ;)

1.) 2 bromine atoms get added to prropene to make a dibromopropane. can you name it?
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

1.) The first step in the mechanism involves a 3 membered ring(involveing 2 carbons that had the double bong and a bromine), the next step involves attack by Br-,

1. This is electrophilic addition. Bromine cation attact duble bond enabling attact of bromine anion with simultanous moving of bromine cation to C1. 1,2-dibromobutane is formed.
2. This is radical substitution. Light produce chlorine radicals which can remove hydrogen radical from any carbon. Since radicals at secondary or tertiary at C atoms are more stable so
2-chloropropane predominates as final product.

1. the  product is 2-bromo-propanol-1.
it is obtained by attack of the 3-membered cyclic cation
