The exact mechanism of this reaction is a little complicated, as it involves the copper ions. However, the process involves the

formation of small amounts of bromine in situ. Draw the mechanism of the bromination of 4-tert-butyl phenol with Br2. -g

Answer:

see picture below

Explanation:

The mechanism is in the following picture.

In the first step, the lone pair of oxygen (from the OH) as it's a strong activating group in the molecule, will go to the ring. This will cause that the double bond of the ring of the ortho position, attacks as nucleophyle to the Br2, causing the breaking of the bond.

In the second step, the bromine ion substract the hydrogen from the ortho position, and then, by resonance, the pair of electrons returns to the oxygen of the phenol.

Answer:

  • Cl F₃

Explanation:

<u>1) Reactants:</u>

The reactants are:

  • <em>Molecular chlorine</em>: this is a gas diatomic molecule, i.e. Cl₂ (g)

  • <em>Molecular fluorine</em>: this is also a gas diatomic molecule: F₂ (g)

<u>2) Stoichiometric coefficients:</u>

  • <em>One volume of Cl₂ react with three volumes of F₂</em> means that the reaction is represented with coefficients 1 for Cl₂ and 3 for F₂. So, the reactant side of the chemical equation is:

        Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) →

<u>3) Product:</u>

  • It is said that the reaction yields <em>two volumes of a gaseous product;</em> then, a mass balance indicates that the two volumes must contain 2 parts of Cl and 6 parts of F. So, one volume must contain 1 part of Cl and 3 parts of F. That is easy to see in the complete chemical equation:

       Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) → 2Cl F₃ (g)

        As you see, that last equation si balanced: 2 atoms of Cl and 6 atoms of F on each side, and you conclude that the formula of the product is ClF₃.
