Submitted Feb 21 at 10:57pm This attempt took 19 minutes. 0/2 pts ihcorrect Question 1 Why are we performing this reaction in an ice bath? Select the best answer To prevent the formations of di-substituted products To prevent carbocation rearrangements To prevent the formation of isobutylene becáuse it might contaminate our product To prevent the formation of isobutylene because it could produce side products for us to separate after the reaction To prevent the formation of isobutylene because it is a highly flammable gas Question 2 2/2 pts In this experiment we predict we will only get two potential products, 1,4-di-tert- butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene or 2-tert-butyl-14-dimethoxybenzene. Why do we not see other potential di-tert-butyl products like 2.3-di-tert-butyl-14-dimethoxybenzene You will lose point

Explanation / Answer

(a) we are performing the reaction in icebath to prevent the elimination reaction to happen. Thus answer is 4th option

(b) It requires activated benzen for reaction to happen. Thus answer is 5th option

(c) B and C are typical alkylation, OTs is good leaving grp C, A can also give under given conditions
