(a)
Interpretation:
The type of stereoisomers formed by the given reaction has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Effect of delocalized electrons on the product of the reaction:
The presence of delocalizes electrons while electrophilic addition or substitution the cation intermediate formed is shifted to stable carbocation form at higher rate, and that leads to the product.
Rule: The stabilities of carbocation are,
b)

- Rank from decreasing reactive to most reactive (SN1)arrow_forward1. Consider the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction below. D heat H D = deuterium = 2H Draw the major regioisomer (or in other words, constitutional isomer) expected to form. Draw appropriate resonance structures and explain why only one constitutional isomer is expected to form. Discuss if this can be drawn with both groups on the dieneophile being endo or one has to be endo and the other has to be exo.arrow_forward2. In aqueous solution d-glucose (or dextrose) exists in equilibrium between a linear and cyclic form shown below. A. Mark all the stereocenters in the linear form of the molecule. Number them 1,2,3, etc. B. Draw out the reaction that converts the linear form to the 6-membered ring using the arrow formalism. C. Identify the stereocenters in the 6-member ring that correspond to the stereocenters in the linear form marking them as 1,2,3, etc. The reaction also created a new stereocenter. Mark it as H -OH HO--H H--OH нон Ho но HO HO H он H-OH H но.arrow_forward
- Suggest a reason why wittig reactions usually give mixtures of cis and trans isomers. which of the cis or trans isomer is the. major product? explain.arrow_forward2) Using one of the MO diagrams your developed in question 1, briefly explain the origins of the resonance/stabilization energy found in conjugated alkenes.arrow_forwardUsing example discuss SN1 reactions ?arrow_forward
- 3. Bromination of alkenes is an anti-addition; i.e. the substituents attach to their respective carbons on opposite sides of the plane of the molecule. Do they remain on opposite sides of the molecule after that? What are the absolute configurations of the carbons? Draw the product to illustrate your answers.arrow_forward7. At room temperature cyclopentadiene reacts with itself to form dicyclopentadiene in a Diels-Alder reaction. a) draw the self reaction of cyclopentadiene 20°C. b) When dicyclopentadiene is heated to boiling (170°C), the retor-Diels-Alder reaction occurs producing 2 moles of cyclopentadiene. Explain this observation in terms of free energy, enthalpy and entropy. c) If the AHxn = -75 kJ/mol and the ASpxn = -226 J/mol K, What temperature would be required for the reaction to be at equilibrium (Keq = 1).arrow_forwardDraw the structure resulting from a reaction of: 1. diborane (B₂H6), followed by 2. alkaline hydrogen peroxide (NaOH / H₂O2) with the following alkene. . Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. . If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. • If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.arrow_forward
- This molecule reacts with HBr to form an alkyl halide. Is this reaction Sn1 or Sn2 and explain your reasoning?arrow_forward3) Draw the ECSF structures of (CH3)3CO (tert-butoxide ion) and CH30º (methoxide ion). Why is (tert-butoxide a PN but methoxide a GN even though both have a full O? (As it turns out, both are SBs) Redraw (CH3)3coe (ECSF) Why PN? Redraw CH30S (ECSF) Why GN?arrow_forward3. A Diels-Alder reaction is shown below. Please predict the two possible products, draw the transition states leading to both, indicate which product would be favored and provide an explanation.
