Question
Chapter 22.5A, Problem 22.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanisms for the reactions of bromine with cyclopentene and phenol are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An enolate ion is a very powerful nucleophile. Cyclopentene and phenol are much weaker nucleophiles than an enolate ion. Bromine is a strong electrophile and it react with much weaker nucleophiles.

Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
