Please answer both parts to the questions completely. I will rate the answer afterwards. For a diels-alder reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride, are the exo and endo forms of product 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-ɑ,β-succinic acid anhydride different stereoisomers or are they the same molecule? Explain your answer by drawing the molecule. Would it be favorable to get a 1,4-adduct of anthracene and maleic anhydride? Why or why not? If the 1,4-adduct of anthracene and maleic anhydride had formed, would it have different exo and endo isomers? Yes or no and why?
Give the structure(s) of the product(s) of each reaction. Indicate any relative stereochemistry, assuming that each of the Diels-Alder reactions will proceed with endo selectivity. If more than one product is formed, please indicate which one will be the major product or if they will be formed in equal amounts. If no reaction is expected to occur under the indicated conditions, then write "no reaction" or NR, and explain why you would expect nothing to occur. In all cases, equimolar amounts of both components/reagents are present unless indicated otherwise.
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?
For each of the following, write the major product(s) and then draw out each step in the mechanism using curved arrows. Show ALL lone pair electrons and formal charges. Redraw ALL molecules as to show explicitly ALL bonds being broken or formed. Identify the molecular orbital (HOMO) of the nucleophile and the molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile involved in the nucleophilic attack. MO diagrams are not necessary..
This is a Diels-Alder reaction between furan + maleic anhydride (endo and exo products). For each cycloaddition product, draw in all hydrogen atoms, and write the molecular formula below.
Doxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate.
