Interpretation:
The product expected with its stereochemistry when cyclopentene reacts with NBS and water.
Concept introduction:
NBS can be used as a source of bromine, as it is stable, easily handled compound that slowly decompose in aqueous dimethylsulphoxide to yield bromine at controlled rate. Bromine from NBS adds on to the double bond to give a cyclic bromonium ion. Water, being a nucleophile, attacks the bromonium ion from the unshielded side to give an intermediate which loses a proton to yield a bromohydrin as the product. The addition occurs with anti stereochemistry resulting in a trans- product.
To give:
The product expected with its stereochemistry when cyclopentene reacts with NBS and water.

- When 2-pentene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed. Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).arrow_forwardOne compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO.
