All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeElectrophilic addition of to isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) yields the following product mixture:
Of the 1,2-addition products, explain why 3,4-dibromo-3-methyl-1-butene (21%) predominates over 3,4-dibromo-2-methyl-1-butene (3%).
1,3-Cyclopentadiene polymerizes slowly at room temperature to yield
a polymer that has no double bonds except on the ends. On heating, the
polymer breaks down to regenerate 1,3-cyclopentadiene. Propose a structure for the product.
Di-tert-butyl-1,3-butadiene does not undergo Diels-Alder reactions. Explain.
Norboradiene (Problem 14-55) can be prepared by reaction of chloroethylene with 1,3-cyclopentadiene, followed by treatment of the product with sodium ethoxide. Write the overall scheme and identify the two kinds of reactions.
How could you use Diels-Alder reactions to prepare the following products ? Show the starting diene and dienophile in each case.
