Step by step solution

01

Definition of protonation-

The addition of a proton (or hydron, or hydrogen cation), (H+) to an atom, molecule, or ion result in the formation of a conjugate acid. (Deprotonation is the complementary process that occurs when a proton is removed from a Brønsted-Lowry acid.)

02

a)

The resonance contributor displayed here indicates which nitrogen is more likely to be protonated (the one with the highest negative charge) and which nitrogen is least likely to be protonated (the one with the greatest positive charge.)

What diene and what dienophile should be used to synthesize the following?

Following the instructions for drawing the energy levels of the molecular orbitals for the compounds shown in Figure 8.17, draw the energy levels of the molecular orbitals for the cycloheptatrienyl cation, thecycloheptatrienyl anion, and the cyclopropenyl cation. For each compound, show the distribution of the π electrons. Which of the compounds are aromatic?

Which is more soluble in water, 3-bromocyclopropene or bromocyclopropane?

Which compound in each set is aromatic? Explain your choice.

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?
