Using curved arrows, draw a mechanism for the SN1 reaction shown below.
Using curved arrows, draw a mechanism for the SN1 reaction shown below.
Rank the carbocations below in order of decreasing stability. (1 = most stable)
Each of the carbocations below will spontaneously rearrange. Draw the structure of the expected rearrangement product.
Let's go over how a carbocation can form from an alcohol.
Write in the curved arrows to show the formation of the protonated alcohol, and water acting as a leaving group to form a carbocation.
Let's go over how a carbocation can form from an alkene.
Use curved arrows to show the two carbocations that can from from 1-methylcyclohexene.
Carbocations aren't very stable and so don't last very long after they are formed.
Use curved arrows to show:
a) how a carbocation reacts with a halide ions to form an alkyl halide.
b) how a carbocation reacts with water to form an alcohol.
c) how a carbocation reacts with a base to form an alkene.

The alcohol below is protonated and contains an oxygen with a positive charge. Using curved arrows, show the two "legal moves" that result in a neutral oxygen.
Let's work through an alkene addition reaction. Draw the structures for each of the species in the three boxes below (3º carbocation, protonated thiol, and thiol). Also draw curved arrows to show electron movement. Note: thiol = RSH, like an alcohol, but with sulfur instead of oxygen.
Let's work through a halogenation reaction. Draw the structures for each of the species in the four boxes below (3º carbocation, halonium ion, protonated thiol, and thiol). Also draw curved arrows to show electron movement. Note: thiol = RSH, like an alcohol, but with sulfur instead of oxygen.
