Question 2: Consider the reaction shown below. The rate of reaction of alkenes with ozone is highly dependent on the alkene substituents. See the relative rate data in the insert for the reaction of those three alkenes with ozone. $ Өодо da d relative rate: CI 1 22 . 97,000 a. Draw the mechanism for the reaction (I've drawn the structure of ozone for you), including the transition state for the reaction. b. Provide an illustration that shows the orbital interactions between the two reactants. Be sure to label the HOMO and LUMO. Be sure to carefully consider which reactant is acting via the HOMO and which via the LUMO. c. Explain how you determined which is operating via the HOMO and which via the LUMO.
