Question
Chapter 8, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the hyperconjugation is important in the stabilization of alkyloxonium ions or not should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The interaction of sigma bond electrons with the adjacent partially filled p-orbital or empty or pi orbital results in the stability of the system is known as hybridization.

Consider an E2 reaction between (2-bromoethyl)cyclohexane and base
potassium tert-butoxide. Describe the rate of elimination when each of the
following changes occurred:
(i) The base is changed to sodium hydroxide.
(ii) The halogen atom of alkyl halide is replaced by chlorine.
The enamine prepared from acetone and dimethylamine is shown here in its lowest-energy form.
(a) What is the geometry and hybridization of the nitrogen atom?
(b) What orbital on nitrogen holds the lone pair of electrons?
(c) What is the geometric relationship between the p orbitals of the double bond and the
nitrogen orbital that holds the lone pair? Why do you think this geometry represents
the minimum energy?
When 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with a base, a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-
butene is produced. When potassium hydroxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 45% of the
product mixture. However, when potassium tert-butoxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for
70% of the product mixture. What percent of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in the mixture if potassium
propoxide were the base?
