Concept introduction:
The term conjugated dienes is used when the double bonds are present alternatively in a hydrocarbon chain. The mathematical function that describes the wave like behavior of an electron in a molecule is expressed by molecular orbital.
The delocalization energy for conjugated molecules is defined as the extra stability that a molecule attains by spreading its electron over the entire molecule. The delocalization of

Organic Chemistry
- 1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of (E)-3-isopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-2-hexene. - Consider E/Z stereochemistry of alkenes. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following represents the HOMO of 1,3-butadiene in the ground State?arrow_forward
