3. The reaction of furan (1) and maleimide (2) gives two products, called exo and endo (and usually the endo product is the favoured product). i. Write the structures of these two products and label them appropriately. ii. Define briefly, with reference to the two structures drawn, exo and endo in the context of bridged bicyclic compounds. ii. What is the stereochemical relationship between these two products. NH 1 2

What happens to the stereochemistry during and SN2 reaction? Why? Provide a reaction to illustrate this.
Carbocations rearrange with some ease. An example of this is shown below. Indicate, with the corresponding arrows, how this process occurs. The carbocation 2 is more stable than 1, why is this? Explain it using (drawing) structures.
A chemist is attempting to synthesize a complex natural product with a highly strained cyclohexene ring system. Which type of reactants would be most suitable for achieving this goal, and why? Provide a detailed explanation of the choice of reactants and the expected outcome in terms of the Diels-Alder reaction.
Which of the statement is INCORRECT? a. The increase in stability of 2,4-hexadiene over 1,3-hexadiene is due to the increased double bond substitution of the former. b. The stabilization of dienes by conjugation is less pronounced than the aromatic stabilization of benzene. c. Resonance description in alkenes usually involves charge separation. d. Higher energy pi-orbitals often have decreasing number of nodes.
