1. In a Birch reaction, an aromatic compound can be treated with Na/CH3OH, it can also betreated with Li/NH3 and have the same product form. One of the intermediates in theBirch reaction is a radical anion. In the example below, anisole could possibly form aradical anion A or B, then will go into C and D.Li/NH3ABCDA. With the knowledge you have gained from what we have discussed, which anion A or Bis more stable? What is your reasoning?B. Is a Birch reaction and oxidation or reduction? Why?

The birch reaction involves successive lelectron transfer from the lithium atom and proton transfer…

Stereochemistry and Isomerism

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on the stereochemistry of a molecule, the physical and chemical properties of the molecules vary.
