Question
Chapter 4, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The more likely structure for the natural product having the given specific rotation is to be determined out of the two proposed structures.
Concept introduction:
A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or groups of atoms.
A chiral compound contains at least one chiral carbon atom and no elements of symmetry.
Molecules can be achiral in spite of having chirality centers. If a compound has two or more equivalently substituted chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry, that compound is called a meso compound.
Meso compounds are optically inactive.

Draw all the possible chair-like conformations of compounds 1-2. In the presence of a strong base, compound 1 undergoes an elimination following an E2 mechanism to generate the most substituted and thermodynamically most favoured alkene 3, while compound 2 generates the less stable alkene 4. Knowing that the E2 mechanism requires the two leaving groups to be antiperiplanar, use the chair-like structures of compounds 1 and 2 to justify this difference in reactivity.
