1.±á°ä≡C°ä≡C°ä±á2CH3 2. CH2≡C±á°ä≡C°ä±á≡C±á2
b. How many disubstituted products would each of the preceding compounds have? (Do not include stereoisomers.)
c. How many disubstituted products would each of the compounds have if stereoisomers are included?
The experiment shown next and discussed in Section 8.13 shows that the proximity of the chloride ion to C−2 in the transition state causes the 1,2−addition product to be formed faster than the 1,4−addition product.

a. Why was it important for the investigators to know that the preceding reaction was being carried out under kinetic control?
b. How could the investigators know that the reaction was being carried out under kinetic control?
In 1935, J. Bredt, a German chemist, proposed that a bicycloalkene could not have a double bond at a bridgehead carbon unless one of the rings contains at least eight carbons. This is known as Bredt’s rule. Explain why there cannot be a double bond at this position.

Which of the following has delocalized electrons?
