Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
The reaction of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane with potassium tert-butoxide is an elimination reaction that occurs by E2 mechanism.
The E2 reaction proceeds faster when the hydrogens are in an antiperiplanar position at an angle of 180 degrees.
This is only attainable in the trans isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane. Hence trans 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster with potassium tert-butoxide
Answer:
C₂Cl₄
Explanation:
To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).
In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.
Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.
The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>
