More Challenging Questions
These questions require more thought and integrate several concepts.
Consider the reaction mechanism for iodine-catalyzed isomerization of cis-2-butene presented in Section 13.8. Use bond enthalpies (Table 8.2) to estimate the energy change for each step in the mechanism. (In Step 3 assume that rotation around the single bond requires about 5 kJ/mol.) Do your estimates agree with the energy values for the intermediates in Figure 13.14 (p. 628)?
