Answer part A-D thoughly.
When the two fused bicyclic structures 1 and 2 are each exposed to bromine in carbon tetrachloride, two distinct reaction products, 3 and 4 (respectively), are formed. Several questions follow the scheme: State the relationship between 1 and 2. (Are they constitutional isomers or stereoisomers, and if the latter, what type?) A second observation was made with a decolorizing test. When a solution of either lor 2 in CCL is treated with Brz (a red oil, decolorization immediately occurs, indicating that Bri is no longer present. However, kinetic experiments show that the reaction of 2 4 is much faster than 1- 3. What does this say about the rate-determining step in each reaction? (consider a mechanism through bromonium ions) 3 in very slow (1 hour) (Explanation / Answer
1 and 2 are sterio isomers. They are configurational diasteriomers.
The rate determining step of 1 ---> 3 is slower the rate determining step of 2------> 4.
