Question
Please help me solve these reactions

Transcribed Image Text:**Title**: Analysis of Chemical Reactions with a Common Substrate
**Introduction**:
In the study of organic chemistry, it's crucial to understand how a single substrate can lead to different products depending on the reaction conditions. Below is an analysis of two reactions involving the same substrate but resulting in different major products.
**Text**:
For the first reaction shown below, only one major product is formed. However, the same substrate forms two major products in the conditions of the second reaction.
1. **Propose the products for each reaction.**
2. **Name mechanisms for each reaction. Draw mechanisms to account for the formation of these products.**
3. **Explain the reason for the difference in products between the two reactions.**
**Diagrams and Chemical Structures**:
1. **Reaction 1**:
- A cyclohexane ring with a chlorine atom attached (drawn in a zigzag form to represent the structure).
- Reaction conditions: NaOme (sodium methoxide) in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
2. **Reaction 2**:
- The same cyclohexane ring with a chlorine atom attached.
- Reaction conditions: MeOH (methanol).
**Discussion**:
- Analyze how the choice of solvent and nucleophile affects the outcome of reactions.
- Consider factors like elimination vs. substitution based on reaction conditions.
- Provide a detailed mechanism for each reaction, illustrating the step-by-step transformation of the substrate into products.
**Conclusion**:
Understanding these reactions allows us to predict the outcomes based on various chemical conditions, which is essential for practical applications in synthesis and industrial chemistry processes.

**Chemistry Problem: Mechanisms and Products of Solvolysis**
When the following compound undergoes solvolysis in methanol, five products are obtained, including stereoisomers. Only two are optically active.
**Tasks:**
1. **Propose the Products:**
- Identify and describe the possible products formed during the solvolysis of the compound in methanol.
2. **Draw Mechanisms:**
- Illustrate the mechanisms accounting for the formation of the products. Use curved arrows to clearly indicate bond breaking and forming processes.
3. **Name the Mechanisms:**
- Specify the reaction mechanisms involved, considering the factors:
- Substrate
- Nucleophile
- Base
- Solvent
- Leaving group
**Compound Structure:**
- The compound is represented by a skeletal formula with a 4-carbon chain, a bromine (Br) substituent, and a methoxy group (CH₃OH) indicated as the solvent for solvolysis.
**Analysis:**
- Examine the structure to evaluate possible reactions:
- Consider the stability of carbocations and rearrangements.
- Assess the optical activity of different stereoisomers formed.
- Analyze how methanol, acting as both a solvent and a nucleophile, interacts with the substrate.
This exercise helps in understanding the nuances of reaction mechanisms and the factors influencing solvolysis reactions, especially in terms of stereochemistry and product distribution.

In this method, stilbene is brominated using pyridinium bromide. Ethanol is used as the solvent. 40.0 mL of ethanol and 2.00 g of (E)-stilbene were placed in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The mixture was heated on a hot plate to dissolve the stilbene, after which 4.00 g of pyridinium tribromide was added to the mixture. After heating while stirring for 5 minutes, the Erlenmeyer flask was removed from heat, and the dibromide product was allowed to crystallize as the flask cooled to room temperature. Next, the mixture was chilled in an ice bath, and the product was collected by vacuum filtration, washing the crystals with 5.00 mL of ice-cold methanol. The product was allowed to air-dry, and obtained as white, needle-like crystals.
