The first product is the major product formed due to the greater stability of the secondarycarbocation formed next to the oxygen. The oxygen atom resonance stabilizes the cation with its
lone pairs:
Methanol adds to that carbocation and is deprotonated by solvent to give the product.
54. In the following reaction, only one product is recovered. Which product is it, and why?
Answer:
Cl is more electronegative than I, so in ICl the iodine has a slight positive character and isattacked by the alkene Lewis base to give a cyclic iodonium ion. The free chloride then adds anti
coplanar to the iodonium ion at the carbon which is more able to bear the positive character thesecondary benzylic carbon. This gives the product on the right.
