tert-Butyl [RCO2C(CH3)3] esters are converted into carboxylic acids [RC02H] by reaction with trifluoroacetic acid, a reaction useful in protein synthesis (Section 26-7). Assign E, Z designation to the double bonds of both reactant and product in the following scheme, and explain why there is an apparent change in double-bond stereochemistry:

Allene (1,2-propadiene), H2C = C = CH2, has two adjacent double bonds. What kind of hybridization must the central carbon have? Sketch the bonding orbitals in allene. What shape do you predict for allene?
Assign E or Z configuration to the following alkenes:

Use Hammond’s Postulate to determine which alkene in each pair would be expected to form a carbocation faster in an electrophilic addition reaction:

Draw a skeletal structure of the following carbocation. Identify it as primary, secondary, or tertiary, and identify the hydrogen atoms that have the proper orientation for hyperconjugation in the conformation shown.
