Get started for freeThe experiment shown next and discussed in Section 8.13 shows that the proximity of the chloride ion to C−2 in the transition state causes the 1,2−addition product to be formed faster than the 1,4−addition product.
a. Why was it important for the investigators to know that the preceding reaction was being carried out under kinetic control?
b. How could the investigators know that the reaction was being carried out under kinetic control?
A student wanted to know whether the greater proximity of the nucleophile to the C-2 carbon in the transition state is what causes the 1,2 addition product to be formed faster when 1,3-butadiene reacts with HCl. Therefore, she decided to investigate the reaction of 2-methyl-1,3 cyclohexadiene with HCl. Her friend told her that she should use 1-methyl-1,3 cyclohexadiene instead. Should she follow her friend’s advice?
