Some examples from this set of practice questions

1.

What is the order of stability of carbocations, from most stable to least stable?

Answer: Tertiary > Secondary > Primary > Methyl

2.

What is a regioselective reaction? What is an example of this?

Answer: A regioselective reaction allows you to specifically add in one orientation over another. The addition of hydrogen halide to an alkene is an example.

3.

What is Markovnikov\'s Rule?

Answer: The addition of the proton occurs on the less substituted carbon - the one that has the most H atoms.

4.

What additions reagent is required for the Anti-Markovnikov addition of a hydrogen halide?

Answer: A peroxide, R-O-O-R.

5.

What is the difference between a Markovnikov product and an Anti-Markovnikov product?

Answer: In Markovnikov, the proton is added to the most substituted carbon atom. In Anti-Markovnikov, the addition of H occurs on the most substituted carbon atom. In Markovnikov, the H is added first, then X. In Anti-Markovnikov, Br is added first, then H.

6.

How would you hydrate an alkene with a Markovnikov product and no carbocation formation?

Answer: Use oxymercuration/demercuration.

7.

Why would you want to avoid carbocation formation?

Answer: Unwanted rearrangements may occur.
