The second-order rate constant (in units of M-1 s-1) for acid-catalysed hydration at 25 °C is given for each of the following alkenes:





a. Calculate the relative rates of hydration of the alkenes. (Hint: Divide each rate constant by the smallest rate constant of the series: 3.51 × 10-8.)
b. Why does (Z)-2-butene react faster than (E)-2-butene?
c. Why does 2-methyl-2-butene react faster than (Z)-2-butene?
d. Why does 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene react faster than 2-methyl-2-butene?
What aspect of the structure of the alkene does ozonolysis not tell you ?
a. Is the reaction of 2-butene with HBr regioselective?
b. Is it stereoselective?
c. Is it stereospecific?
d. Is the reaction of 1-butene with HBr regioselective?
e. Is it stereoselective?
f. Is it stereospecific?
When 3-methyl-1-butene reacts with HBr, two alkyl halides are formed: 2-bromo-3-methylbutane and 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. Propose a mechanism that explains the formation of these two products.
a. What alkene would give only a ketone with three carbons as a product of oxidative cleavage?
b. What alkenes would give only an aldehyde with four carbons as a product of oxidative cleavage?
