- Identify compound R and S in the following reactions:arrow_forwardOf the two molecules below select which molecule would be predicted to react faster via an E2 elimination. (hint: stereoelectronic arguments can help)arrow_forwardHow many stereoisomers are possible for this cyclic hemiacetal?arrow_forward
- Friedel–Crafts alkylation of benzene with (R)-2-chlorobutane and AlCl3 affords sec-butylbenzene.a. How many stereogenic centers are present in the product?b. Would you expect the product to exhibit optical activity? Explain, with reference to the mechanism.arrow_forwardBoth menthyl chloride and neomenthyl chloride (structures shown below) undergo E2 elimination in the presence of EtONa in ethanol. Provide the possible product(s). Which substrate reacts faster in term of overall reaction rate? Explain why.arrow_forwardThe spirocyclic pentadiene derivative F shown below is converted stereospecificallyinto compound G on heating. The transformation involves two consecutive pericyclicreactions of the same type, and proceeds via compound H which is not isolated. Identify the type of pericyclic reaction occurring, and determine the structure ofcompound H.arrow_forward
- When toluene is treated with bromine (shown), the bromine doesn't react with the double bond to form a viscinal dihalide, but instead a substitution of one of the benzylic hydrogens takes place. Why?arrow_forwardHow many stereoisomers are obtained from each of the syntheses describedarrow_forwardDoxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. Except for the Nef reaction in Step 8, we have seen examples of all other types of reactions involved in this synthesis. Q. Assuming that the two side chains on the cyclopentanone ring are trans, how many stereoisomers are possible from this synthetic sequence?arrow_forward
- Compound A is first reacted with methylamine in the presence of acid and then treated with NaBH3CN. Using the spectroscopic data given, what is the structure of the product after step 1?arrow_forwardGive the structure of the major diastereoisomer formed in the two reactions below. Explain the stereochemical outcome with the aid of Newman projections/transition state diagrams.arrow_forwardOn reaction with hydrogen chloride, one of the trimethylcyclohexanols shown gives a single product, the other gives a mixture of two stereoisomers. Explain.arrow_forward
