Textbook Question
Chapter 15.6, Problem 15.8P
When Br2 is added to buta-1,3-diene at −15 °C, the product mixture contains 60% of product A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 °C, the product ratio is 10% A and 90% B.
- a. Propose structures for products A and B. (Hint: In many cases, an allylic carbocation is more stable than a bromonium ion.)
- b. Propose a mechanism to account for formation of both A and B.
- c. Show why A predominates at −15 °C and B predominates at 60 °C.
- d. If you had a solution of pure A, and its temperature were raised to 60 °C, what would you expect to happen? Propose a mechanism to support your prediction.

Explain why the addition of HBr to alkenes A and C is regioselective, forming addition products B and D, respectively. Br Br HBr HBr OCH3 OCH3 COOCH3 COOCH3 A C Addition to alkene A is regioselective because: Alkene A forms a primary carbocation, which is always more stable than a secondary carbocation. Alkene A forms a resonance stabilized carbocation on the C closest to the O atom. The Br atom is less crowded on a primary carbon than on a secondary carbon. Alkene A forms an inductively destabilized carbocation on the C closest to the O atom. Addition to alkene C is regioselective because: The Br atom is less crowded on the carbon that is farther away from the COOCH3 group. Alkene C forms a carbocation on the C farthest from the inductively destabilizing COOCH3 group. Alkene C forms a secondary carbocation, which is always more stable than a primary carbocation. Alkene C forms a carbocation that is resonance stabilized by the COOCH, group.arrow_forward7. Give the mechanism and product for the reaction below. H0, HS0. mechanism:arrow_forward
