Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The missing compounds in the given sequence of reactions are to be supplied.
Concept introduction:
An
Alcohols undergo acid-catalyzed dehydration reactions via E1 mechanism to yield a three-membered ring with the insertion of an oxygen atom, that is, epoxide.
Diazomethane, when heated in the presence of light, generates a carbene.
A carbene adds to an alkene via a three-membered transition state to produce a cyclopropane ring. This reaction also preserves the cis/trans relationships of the groups attached to the alkene carbons.

- help me to understand this question. Explain the mechanism in briefly.arrow_forwardprovide the mechanism for the following reactions. thank you.arrow_forwardPlease provide a complete, detailed curved-arrow mechanism for the following reaction. Include ALL lone pairs and formal charges. Using the mechanism and a few words, explain why the NaOH deprotonates at the a-position and not the b-position or the aldehyde hydrogen. Also, explain why the indicated alkene is formed in the 2nd second rather than the other possible alkene product.arrow_forward
