11. Treatment of compound F with lithium diisopropylamide followed by cyclohexanone gives either G or H. G is formed if the aldehyde is added at -78°C whereas H is formed if the aldehyde is added at 0°C. Furthermore, treatment of G with lithium diisopropylamide at 0°C gives H. Explain these results.

The following equation shows the reaction of trans-2,3-diphenyloxirane with hydrogen chloride in benzene to form 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol. (a) How many stereoisomers are possible for 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol? (b) Given that opening of the epoxide ring in this reaction is stereoselective, predict which of the possible stereoisomers of 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol is/are formed in the reaction.
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?
A 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.
The trimethylsilyl (TMS) protecting group is one of several silicon protecting groups for alcohols. For each reaction, draw the mechanism for the protection of (R)-3-bromo-1-butanol with the following silyl chlorides, using triethylamine as the base: (a) terf-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBS-C1] (b) triisopropylsilyl chloride (TEPS-C1) (c) triethylsilyl chloride (TES-C1)

When (ft)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (fl)-2-bromo-2,5- dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.
