1. The dehydrohalogenation of dibromostilbene occurs through two stages. Why does the second stage in particular require so much energy to complete?

2. How do the substituents on the diene and the dienophile affect the rate of reaction in a Diels-Alder reaction?

Solutions

Expert Solution

the activation energy for the generation of a vinyl cation intermediate would be higher than that for a lower energy intermediate. This is illustrated for alkenes versus alkynes by the following energy diagrams.

The energy level diagram of vinyl cation intermediate which very higher energy than the other alkyl cation intermediate. At the second step of dehydrohalogenation produce intermediate which is higher energy like carbocation intermediate so for that it required strong base to deprotonation.

A rocket is launched straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 10.0 and 5.0 s, respectively, with no time interval between them. In Stage 1, the rocket fuel provides a net upward acceleration of 18 m/s2. In Stage 2, the net upward acceleration is 13 m/s2. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the maximum altitude above the surface of Earth of the payload and the time required for...

1) A reciprocating compressor has two stages with inlet air going into LP stage at 1 bar, 16°C and at the rate of 12 m3/min. Air is finally delivered at 7 bar and there is perfect intercooling at optimum pressure between the stages. The index for compression is 1.25 and compressor runs at 600 rpm. Neglecting clearance volume determine intermediate pressure and total power required. 2) A reciprocating compressor of single stage and double acting type has free air delivered...
