(a)
Interpretation:
Two sets of reagents that might be used to prepare the given Z
Concept Introduction:
Wittig reaction:
Formation of an alkene by the reaction of carbonyl compounds with phosphorus ylide is known as Wittig reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The conversion method of Z alkene into disparlure has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Epoxidation reaction:
Alkenes reacts with peracids and forms
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of possible stereoisomers for disparlure has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers and chiral:
Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.
The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality. Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?arrow_forwardQ3. 2-Bromopentane, when treated with alcoholic KOH yields a mixture of three alkenes A, B and C. Identify A, B and C. Which is predominant? Q4 Which statement below about Sn1 reactions is incorrect? (A) SN1 reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a SN1 reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SN1 reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a SN1 reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Sn1 reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.arrow_forward

- 2-bromo-2-methylbutane undergoes hydrolysis reaction with water, H2O toform compound W. Compound X and compound Y are produced when 2-bromo-2-methylbutane undergoes elimination reaction with alcoholic ofsodium hydroxide, NaOH. (ii) What is the type of reaction involved in the formation of compound W? (iii) Identify the major product of the elimination reaction between compound Xand compound Y based on Zaitsev’s rule.arrow_forwardCompound A has the formula C₂H₁9Cl. B is a C₂H19Br compound. A and B undergo base-promoted E2 elimination to give the same alkene C as the major product as well as different minor products. C reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2,6-dimethylheptane. Addition of HCI to C yields A as the major product. Propose structures for A and B. • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. • Draw one structure per sketcher.
