Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction, when the product in Problem 12.21 is treated with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Hydroboration is addition of
As with the addition of
In step 7, the hydroxide ion coordinates to the boron atom of trialkylborate ester, followed by step 8, which is the hydrolysis that leads to the release of alkoxide ion as a leaving group. In step 9, the strongly basic alkoxide ion gains a proton from the water molecule to produce the first equivalent of the final alcohol. This trio of steps is then repeated twice as steps 10-15.

- Propose a second chain propagation step. Remember that a characteristic of chain propagation steps is that they add to the observed reactionarrow_forwardPlease draw out the whole mechanism for the following reaction.arrow_forwardWill each of the following reactions follow an El or E2 mechanism? to to HO,arrow_forward
- Alkyl diazonium salts decompose to form carbocations, which go on to form products of substitution, elimination, and (sometimes) rearrangement. Keeping this in mind, draw a stepwise mechanism that forms all of the following products.arrow_forwardDraw the mechanism from the reactants to the product shown in the picture using robinson annulation. What role do the nitro groups play electronically? Why would the reaction be much slower if these nitro groups weren’t attached to those benzene carbons? Draw structures to support answerarrow_forwardIn the given condensed formula, I understand that there will be a carbocation rearrangement due to excess hydrogen and an E1 mechanism, however, I have trouble in understanding where this bond between the nucleophile and electrophile is formed.arrow_forward

- Draw the mechanisms for this reaction with transition state. Please provide explanation also.arrow_forwardDraw the curved arrow notation to account for the bimolecular elimination (E2) step depicted below. 2nd attemptarrow_forwardWhen the following deuterium-labeled compound is treated with potassium tert-butoxide in DMF, a single product is observed. When the same substrate is heated in the presence of dilute potassium ethoxide in ethanol, a mixture of two products is formed. Provide the complete, detailed mechanism (curved arrows) for each reaction and label each reaction as E1 or E2. Note: deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen and can be treated similarly to hydrogen in chemical reactions but cannot be implied. D H KO/Bu DMF D H dilute KOET EtOH ?+ ?arrow_forward
