Stereochemistry of bromine addition
1)
To investigate the mechanism for the addition of bromine to an alkene, we will use the melting point of our brominated products. The three possible outcomes for this lab are to obtain 1)only the syn enantiomers, 2)only the anti enantiomers, or 3)a mixture of diastereomers. Match these possible outcomes to the three possible mechanisms described in the lab manual, bromonium ion, concerted Br2 activation, and carbonation
2)
In this experiment we don't crystallize the final product. This means that your final product might be slightly impure. Why will this not affect your mechanistic analysis?
3) If we replace cinnamic acid with styrene, would we be able to determine the mechanism of bromination by analyzing the stereochemistry of the brominated products? What about the trans-stilbene?
Answer all three, please

alswering these questions. 1. If the bromination of trans-stilbene proceeded by syn addition what isomer(s) of stilbene dibromide would be formed? 2. If the bromination of trans-stilbene proceeded by anti addition what isomer(s) of stilbene dibromide would be formed? 3. Which isomer(s) of stilbene dibromide would be formed if the reaction followed Mechanism 4? Mechanism 4: Bromination is a multi-step process. In this mechanism, the pi bond attacks the bromine molecule as in Mechanism 1. Some time after the carbocation...
2. Draw the entire mechanism for the syn- addition of bromine + trans-cinnamic acid. All stereochemistry must be shown. All chirality (R, S) must be labeled for chiral centers.
prelab wants me to draw a mechanism for both pairs. so one mechanism for the 93-95 C pair and another mechanism for the 202-204 C pair. Please draw out full mechanism with arrow pushing please for both! trans-cinnamic acid Bromination of trans-cinnamic acid can result in the formation of two different pairs of enantiomers (see Figure 4). Fortunately, the pairs of enantiomers have very different melting points. Thus, we can determine the result of this reaction by examining the melting...
Look up and draw the mechanism for the addition of Br2 to double bonds. Reference the source from which you acquired the mechanism. Give the IUPAC name of the major product in the above-mentioned reaction. Draw the major product of obtained in the addition of Br2 to stilbene. Is this isomer chiral? What would be the optical rotation if this sample was placed in a polarimeter? Would a student obtain the same product if you started with cis-stilbene instead of...
