5) Carbocations can often undergo rearrangements via 1,2-hydride or 1,2-alkanide shifts, yet the experimental spectra indicate this reaction is highly selective for a single SNl product. Draw two possible CsH₁ carbocation intermediates that could be generated via 1,2-hydride shifts of the carbocation intermediate optimized in
question 2. Provide an electron-pushing mechanism for the formation of each and recreate the potential energy surface (PES) shown below to include the two additional carbocations depicted. Explain why these carbocations are unlikely to lead to product formation in this reaction. You may estimate the relative energy differences based upon prior knowledge, textbook resources, or by WebMO calculations. (6 pts)
