Stretch the structure for (S)-3-bromo-2-methylpentane and add the stereochemistry at all stereogenic centers.
Consider the E2 elimination of 3‑bromopentane with hydroxide. The starting material consists of a chiral carbon with an in plane bond to bromine pointing to the upper left, an in plane bond to ethyl pointing to the right, a wedged bond to ethyl pointing to the lower left and a dashed bond to hydrogen pointing to the lower left. This reacts with hydroxide to form the product, water and bromide ion. Complete the curved arrow electron-pushing. Use three curved arrows to show the conversion to the product. Draw the organic product.
1- Chloro-1,2-diphenyletane can undergo E2 elimination to give either cis- or trans-1,2-diphenylethylene (stilbene). Draw New man projections of the reactive conformations leading to both possible products, and suggest a reason why trans alkene is the major product?
First Writedown which reaction it is? SN1, SN2, E1? Write a stepwise mechanism for the following reactions showing ALL intermediates. Use curved arrows to symbolize the flow of electrons to show how each of the intermediates and product are formed. Show all necessary lone pairs and formal charges.
Five-membered aromatic heterocycles with one heteroatom undergo electrophilic substitutions preferentially at the α-position (C-2 and C-5) rather than at the β-position (C-3 and C-4). Explain?
Rank the following groups in order of decreasing priority. −F, −NH2, −CH3, −OH
In the following three compounds(1,2,3) arrange their relative reactivity towards the reagent CH3Cl / AlCl3. and justify it.
Which of the following projections would the most stable? I believe that it would be the 6th because out of all 6 groups, the methyl groups are the furthest distance away from each other in the 6th. When they are in close proximity, the front and back methyl groups’ electron orbitals repel each other, which generates potential energy and makes the conformation unstable.
Do hydration reactions like this one have Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov products? I know that for addition of halides on alkene double bonds, there are Markovnikov products becasue of 1,2-halide/methyl shifts, but there usually aren't shifts in hydration reactions. Essentially, would the Markovnikov/major product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the tertiary carbocation and the anti-Markovnikov/minor product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the adjacent secondary carbocation?
A difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired conguration.a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S.b. A well known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C. Draw their structures and indicate their stereochemical relationship.c. Suggest a reagent to convert A to the single stereoisomer X.
4. Without consulting tables, arrange the following alkenes in order of increasing boiling point.
Compound X is insoluble in cold KMnO4, Br2 in CCl4, and conc. H2SO4. Compound X is most likely: a. an alkane b. none of these c. an alkene d. an alcohol e. an alkyl halide Indicate which of the ff. statements regarding nucleophilicity is incorrect. F- is more nucleophilic, hence, more reactive towards methyl iodide than Cl-. Second row elements are more nucleophilic than first row elements of comparable basicity. The rate of SN2 reaction may be markedly affected by the nucleophilicity of the attacking atom. Nucleophilicity is the affinity of a nucleophile to an electrophilic carbon Which of the following alkynes can be deprotonated by NaNH2 in liquid NH3? 3-Methylhex-2-yne Pent-2-yne 3-Methylbutyne none of these Hex-3-yne
