Interpretation:
The way by which the given synthesis is being accomplished has to be shown and explanation for the stereoselective synthesis of 10-trans-12-cis isomer.
Concept introduction:
Wittig Reaction: It is an organic reaction where an
Non-stabilized ylide (having electron donating group on negatively charged carbon) gives Z-isomer whereas stabilized ylide (having electron withdrawing group on negatively charged carbon) gives E-isomer.
Non–stabilized ylide (having electron donating group on negatively charged carbon) gives Z–isomer whereas stabilized ylide (having electron withdrawing group on negatively charged carbon) gives E–isomer.

- Following is the structure of miconazole, the active antifungal agent in a number of over-the-counter preparations, including Monistat, that are used to treat vaginal yeast infections. One of the compounds needed for the synthesis of miconazole is the trichloro derivative of toluene shown on its right. (a) Show how this derivative can be synthesized from toluene. (b) How many stereoisomers are possible for miconazole?arrow_forwardThe following reaction was performed as part of a research program sponsored by the National Institutes of Health to develop therapeutic agents for the treatment of cocaine addiction.

- In a strongly acidic solution, cyclohexa-1,4-diene tautomerizes to cyclohexa-1,3-diene.Propose a mechanism for this rearrangement, and explain why it is energetically favorablearrow_forwardCompounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane. Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene. Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of X? • 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. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. наarrow_forwardThe electrophilic addition of HBr to 3-cyclohexylbut-1-ene gives a mixture of two constitutional isomers. These two isomers can also be produced from 3-cylcohexybut-2-ene, but one of which requires different reaction conditions; the electrophilic addition of HBr to 3-cylcohexybut-2-ene produces one of these isomers while the electrophilic addition of HBr to 3-cylcohexybut-2-ene, in the presence of peroxides, produces the other one. Draw the structure for the isomer product that can result from the reactants 3-cyclohexylbut-1-ene and 3-cylcohexybut-2-ene using different reaction conditions.
