- Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the following epoxide gives a trans diol. Of the two possible trans diols, only one is formed. How do you account for this stereoselectivity?arrow_forwardA step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostaglandin E1, alprostadil) is the reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.arrow_forwardFollowing is a synthesis for toremifene, a nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist whose structure is closely related to that of tamoxifen.

The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between acetophenone and 3-buten-2-one. Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between acetophenone and pyrrolidine. Draw the structure of the Michael addition product. Draw the structure of the final product.arrow_forwardReaction of p-nitroaniline with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid at 0 °C, followed by treatment with N,N-diethylaniline.arrow_forward
