Compare the reactivity of iodine with cyclohexene to its reactivity with α-pinene and explain the differences. Cyclobutanes have about 25-27 kcal/mole ring strain. Considering the mechanism for the reaction of α-pinene with I2, would you predict the energy difference between a secondary and a tertiary carbocation to be more or less than 27 kcal/mole?

The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. the change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain that results in vision. the minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kj/mol.
