a) When (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation, two isomeric products are formed. Give their structures, and label each asymmetric carbon atom as (R) or (S). What is the relationship between these isomers?
The structure below is the cyclic ether (epoxide), butene oxide:
(1)
CH3CH₂
-CH₂
butene oxide
How could this compound be prepared from but-1-ene?
Explain why butene oxide is much more reactive than its isomer,
tetrahydrofuran, which is also a cyclic ether:
H₂C-CH₂
H₂C
CH₂
tetrahydrofuran
Illustrate how butene oxide reacts with ammonia, showing details of
the mechanism leading to the final product, C4H11 NO.
Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butene. With sodium ethoxide as base, 2-butene
constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, 2-butene constitutes only 67% of the alkene
products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
