Question

Suggest reasonable explanations for each of the following observations: The first-order rate constant for the solvolysis of (CH3)2CCHCH2Cl in ethanol is over 6000 times greater than that of allyl chloride (25°C). After a solution of 3-buten-2-ol in aqueous sulfuric acid had been allowed to stand for 1 week, it was found to contain both 3-buten-2-ol and 2-buten-1-ol. Treatment of CH3CHCHCH2OH with hydrogen bromide gave a mixture of 1-bromo-2-butene and 3-bromo-1-butene. Treatment of 3-buten-2-ol with hydrogen bromide gave the same mixture of bromides as in part (c). The major product in parts (c) and (d) was 1-bromo-2-butene.

reactions-between-certain-haloalkanes-alkyl-halides-and-water-produce-alcohols-consider-the-overal-2

Reactions between certain haloalkanes (alkyl halides) and water produce alcohols. Consider the overall reaction for $t$ -butyl bromide ( 2 -bromo- 2 -methylpropane): $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{CBr}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow$ $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{COH}(a q)+\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Br}^{-}(a q)$ The experimental rate law is rate $=k\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{CBr}\right] .$ The accepted mechanism for the reaction is $(1)\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Br}(a q) \longrightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Br}^{-}(a q) \quad[\mathrm{slow}]$ (2) $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}_{2}^{+}(a q) \quad[$ fast$]$ (3) $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}_{2}^{+}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}(a q) \quad[$ fast$]$ (a) Why doesn't $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ appear in the rate law? (b) Write rate laws for the elementary steps. (c) What reaction intermediates appear in the mechanism? (d) Show that the mechanism is consistent with the experimental rate law.
