Question 5

Which of the following statements about the addition of Br$$_2 to $$cyclohexene is correct?

Accepted Answer

The reaction proceeds via anti addition, resulting in a trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane.

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the mechanism of hydration of an alkene using acid catalysis?

Accepted Answer

Electrophilic addition of H$$^+ to $$the alkene forms a carbocation, followed by nucleophilic attack by water.

Question 7

Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for the compound with the structure: $$\mathrm{CH_2$=CHCH_2CH_2CH_3}$$?

Accepted Answer

1-pentene

Question 8

A student is asked to draw the most stable Newman projection of butane looking down the C2–C3 bond. Which conformation should they draw?

Accepted Answer

Anti conformation, with the two methyl groups $$180^\circ$$ apart.

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why cyclopropane is more reactive than cyclohexane?

Accepted Answer

Cyclopropane has significant angle strain due to its $$60^\circ$$ bond angles.

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for a compound with a six-carbon ring and a one-carbon substituent?

Accepted Answer

Methylcyclohexane

Question 11

When 1-butyne reacts with excess HBr, what is the major product?

Accepted Answer

2,2-dibromobutane

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the difference between constitutional isomers and conformational isomers?

Accepted Answer

Constitutional isomers differ in the connectivity of their atoms, while conformational isomers differ by rotation about single bonds.

Question 13

Which of the following statements about the chair conformation of cyclohexane is correct?

Accepted Answer

The chair conformation is free of both angle and torsional strain.

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct product when 1-hexyne undergoes hydration in the presence of HgSO$$_4$$ and H$$_2SO$_4$$?

Accepted Answer

2-hexanone

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the stereochemistry of the product formed when an alkyne is hydrogenated using Lindlar's catalyst?

Accepted Answer

A cis-alkene is formed due to syn addition of hydrogen.

Question 16

Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for the compound with the structure: $$\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH=$$CHCH_3$$}$$?

Accepted Answer

2-pentene

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct statement about the stability of alkenes according to Zaitsev's rule?

Accepted Answer

The more substituted alkene is more stable and is the major product in elimination reactions.

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the difference between Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov addition of HX to an alkene?

Accepted Answer

Markovnikov addition places the hydrogen on the carbon with more hydrogens, while anti-Markovnikov places it on the carbon with fewer hydrogens.

Question 19

Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for a compound with a five-membered ring and a chlorine substituent at position 1 and a triple bond at position 1?

Accepted Answer

5-chloropent-1-yne
