Answer Happy

Over the course of the semester, and in these last two chapters in particular, we have drawn out a lot of mechanisms together. Answer each of the following questions about the various reaction mechanisms we have studied. a) In the mechanism for the addition of Cl₂ to an alkene, an important intermediate was formed. What is the name of the chloronium ion type of intermediate? b) In the mechanism for the addition of HCI to an alkene, an important intermediate was formed. What is the name of the type of intermediate? carbocation c) In the mechanism for the addition of HBr in the presence of peroxides to an alkene, an important intermediate was formed. What is the name of the type of intermediate? free radical d) In the mechanism for the addition of mercuric acetate to an alkene, an important intermediate was formed. What is the name of the type of intermediate? mercurinium ion e) In the mechanism for the addition of CHCl3 and tert-butoxide to an alkene, an important intermediate was formed. What is the name of the type of intermediate? carbene
