Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound should be prepared using
Concept Introduction:
Addition of
Catalytic hydrogenation in presence of
For cyclic reactants, the addition of
Enantiomers: they are chiral molecules whose mirror images are not superimposable.
Enantiomers are given configuration as R or S based on the atoms bonded with chiral (carbon bonded with four different substituents) carbon.
Carbocation: carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:
Nucleophile: It donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of
Electrophile: It is positively charged species which seeks for negative charge and hence accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged species (Nucleophiles) which results in the formation of chemical bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given compound should be prepared using alkene and other reagents.
