When is added to buta-1,3-diene at 15 C, the product mixture contains 60% of product A
Chapter 0, Problem 15-8(choose chapter or problem)
When is added to buta-1,3-diene at 15 C, the product mixture contains 60% of product A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 C, the product ratio is 10% A and 90% B. (a) Propose structures for products A and B. (Hint: In many cases, an allylic carbocation is more stable than a bromonium ion.) (b) Propose a mechanism to account for formation of both A and B. (c) Show why A predominates at 15 C, but B predominates at 60 C. (d) If you had a solution of pure A, and its temperature were raised to 60 C, what would you expect to happen? Propose a mechanism to support your prediction.
