- Predict the -elimination product(s) formed when each chloroalkane is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. If two or more products might be formed, predict which is the major product.arrow_forwardIn contrast, optically active butan-2-ol does not racemize on treatment with a solution of KOH. Explain why a reaction like that does not occur?arrow_forwardWhen (ft)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (fl)-2-bromo-2,5- dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.arrow_forward
- When (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.arrow_forwardQ12. (1bremeetblbenzene 1 ydergOesan elimination following an E1 mechanism. Fill in the following synthetic scheme by drawing the structure of intermediate 2 and product 3. The chemical formula of product 3 is provided as guidance.arrow_forwardlejimalide B, an anticancer agent with a 24-membered ring, is isolated from a tunicate found off le Island in Okinawa. (a) Label each double bond in iejimalide B as E or Z. (b) Label each tetrahedral stereogenic center as R or S. (c) How many stereoisomers are possible for iejimalide B?

- Show how you would synthesize each compound using methylenecyclohexane asyour starting material. If a chiral product is shown, assume that it is part of a racemicmixture.arrow_forwardFollowing is the structure of miconazole, the active antifungal agent in a number of over-the-counter preparations, including Monistat, that are used to treat vaginal yeast infections. One of the compounds needed for the synthesis of miconazole is the trichloro derivative of toluene shown on its right. (a) Show how this derivative can be synthesized from toluene. (b) How many stereoisomers are possible for miconazole?arrow_forwardCyclohexanone do not produce isomeric oximes but cyclohexane does produces 2 stereoisomeric oximes. Explain whyarrow_forward
- For following substituted benzenes: [1] C6H5Br; [2] C6H5CN; [3] C6H5OCOCH3: Does the substituent activate or deactivate the benzene ring inelectrophilic aromatic substitution?arrow_forwardaddition of hbr to a double bond with an ether (-or) substituent occurs regiospecifically to give a product in which the Br OR are bonded to the same carbon. Draw the two possible carbocation intermediates in this electrophilic addition reaction,and explain using resonance why the observed product is formed.arrow_forwardWhen a solution of (R)-2-methyl-1-phenyl butan-1-one in aq.EtOH is treated with either acid or base it is converted to a racemic mixture. Provide a possible explanation.arrow_forward
