Draw a mechanism for the first step of the reaction between methyllithium (CH3Li) and acetone. Then answer the two multiple choi
ce questions underneath your mechanism.
1 answer:
Answer:
See the attached image
Explanation:
The first step is the production of the <u>carboanion</u> in the compound. We will get the <u>negative charge</u> on the methyl group and the <u>positive charge</u> in the Li atom.
Then the carboanion can <u>attack the acetone</u>. The double bond of the oxo group would <u>delocalized</u> upon the oxygen, generating a positive charge in the carbon that can be attacked by the carboanion formaiting a <u>new C-C bond</u>.

Answer:
Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. the transfer or flow from one object to another is called heat.

Answer:
IV
Explanation:
The complete question is shown in the image attached.
Let us call to mind the fact that the SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation in the rate determining step. The order of stability of cabocations is; tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.
Hence, a tertiary alkyl halide is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism since it forms a more stable cabocation in the rate determining step.
Structure IV is a tertiary alkyl halide, hence it is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism.
