Question

please explain clearly, thnx

c. Draw a representative potential energy curve that correctly shows your mechanism. Label important intermediates and transition states in your mechanism and your potential diagram. d. Calculate triangle H for the reaction using the given bond dissociations energies (kcals/mol) e. Describe in words your the individual steps in your mechanism. Be brief, accurate, precise and to the point.

Answer 1

Post two more problems since the question contains lot of calculations, i have explained the mechanism if you can deduce the answer then it is your wish

(e)

The electrophillic reaction will take place, in first part, the double bond will be broken to give + charge on CH3 connected part in the ring being more stable and negative charge on other cyclohexane then since H-Br being polar hence Br will attack as Br- on that part and H will attack on the other part.

The resulting compound 1-bromo 1-methyl cyclohexane
