Chapter 13, Problem 74IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents used for the synthesis of epoxide 2 to allylic alcohol 1 need to be identified.

  EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-PRINT COMPANION (, Chapter 13, Problem 74IP , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: The problem is based on the concept of enantioselective epoxidation. In this process, if a chiral epoxide needs to be formed, a racemic mixture of epoxide will be formed.

Here for enantioselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols where the hydroxyl group is attached to an allylic position which is next to a C-C double bond, a catalyst is developed. This catalyst contains titanium tetraisopropoxide and enantiomer of diethyl tartrate.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the preparation of orthoester 4 from epoxide 3 needs to be proposed.

  EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-PRINT COMPANION (, Chapter 13, Problem 74IP , additional homework tip  2

Concept Introduction: In the acid-catalyzed ring-opening of an epoxide with water, first proton transfer takes place and then nucleophilic attack takes place via an SN2 mechanism. In the end, proton transfer step takes place that removes the charge formed after the attack of the neutral nucleophile. The general reaction is represented as follows:
