Identify the electrophile and the nucleophile in each of the following reaction steps, and then draw curved arrows to illustrate the bond-making and bond-breaking processes.
When fumarate reacts with D2O in the presence of the enzyme fumarase, only one isomer of the product is formed, as shown here. Is the enzyme catalyzing a syn or an anti-addition of D2O?
When Br2adds to a cis alkene that has different substituents attached to each of the two sp2carbons, such as cis-2-heptene, identical amounts of the two threo enantiomers are obtained even though Br-is more likely to attack the less sterically hindered carbon of the bromonium ion. Explain why identical amounts of the two enantiomers are obtained.
What is the product of the addition of I-Cl to 1-butene? (Hint: Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine [Table 1.3].)
