Question

Part A 2,4-Dimethylpent-2-ene undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction in the presence of HBr to form 2-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentane. Complete the mechanism of this addition and draw the intermediates formed as the reaction proceeds. Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. ? View Available Hint(s)

br-hbr-ch3-ch3-h3c-h3c-electrophilic-addition-of-hbr-to-alkenes-yields-a-bromoalkane-the-reaction-begins-with-an-attack-on-the-hydrogen-of-the-electrophilic-hbr-by-the-electrons-of-the-doubl-46535

Electrophilic addition of HBr to alkenes yields a bromoalkane. The reaction begins with an attack on the hydrogen of the electrophilic HBr by the π electrons of the double bond to give a carbocation. This step follows Markovnikov's rule with the electrophilic H atom adding to the sp2 carbon containing the most hydrogens, leading to the formation of the most stable carbocation (1°<2°<3°). If possible, a 1,2-shift of either a neighboring hydride or methyl group can occur prior to the last step in order to form a more stable carbocation. In the final step of the reaction, nucleophilic bromide adds to the carbocation to give the neutral product. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

Consider the reaction below to answer the following question(s): 1. The nucleophile in this reaction is __. 2. The electrophile in this reaction is __. 3. The kinetically controlled product in this reaction is __. 4. The product that results from 1,4-addition is __. 5. Write a stepwise mechanism that accounts for both of the products shown. Show all intermediate structures and electron flow with arrows. 6. This reaction shows the preferred electrophilic addition of HBr to this unsymmetrical alkene. Draw the products of electrophilic addition to the opposite end of the conjugated diene.
