| 11. | The reaction proceeds though a single electron transfer process, involving a carbocation.
|
| 12. | Driving force is the stabilization of said carbocation by the beta-silicon effect.
|
| 13. | This usually occurs only when that carbocation is an allylic or a benzyllic carbocation.
|
| 14. | This usually occurs only when that carbocation is an allylic or a benzyllic carbocation.
|
| 15. | I assume in general the longer-chain primary carbocation would be more stable?
|
| 16. | Well anyway, why isn't the C + carbocation resonance contributor shown?
|
| 17. | Will it decompose onto ether + carbocation anyway?
|
| 18. | George Olah of the United States won last year for his contributions to carbocation chemistry.
|
| 19. | In the first step, the leaving group departs, forming a carbocation C +.
|
| 20. | For instance in the following alkyl benzenesulfonate the alkene is able to delocalise the carbocation.
