When reacting a solution of the following secondary hydroxyl amine with 2-butene under very high temperatures, the desired product forms. However, at low temperatures, an undesired side reaction occurs. Provide the mechanism for the top reaction path, and the side product for the bottom path (NO MECHANISM FOR BOTTOM PATH). Explain why increased temperature provides the desired product.

Answer:

Mechanism for top reaction is combustion while the side product at bottom path oximes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydroxiamine is a reducing agent that requires high temperature to combust in it'd ageous state to produced oxime while water is eliminated. The reverse is the case because the production of water during combustion I does not yield the fight result as it can e very irritating.

Increased temperature stimulates the protons to become free to combust and react with 2 butene and other aldehyde during chemical reaction.
