Reaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol. Of the four possible cis,trans isomers, one is formed in over 85% yield. (a) Draw structural formulas for the four possible cis,trans isomers of the bicyclic alcohol. (b) Which is the structure of the isomer formed in 85% yield? How do you account for its formation? Create a model to help you make this prediction.
Like other electrophiles, carbocations add to alkenes to form new carbocations, which can then undergo substitution or elimination reactions depending on the reaction conditions. With this in mind, consider the following reactions of nerol, a natural product isolated from lemon grass and other plant sources. Treatment of nerol with TsOH forms α-terpineol as the major product, whereas treatment of nerol with chlorosulfonic acid, HSO3Cl, forms a constitutional isomer, α-cyclogeraniol. Write stepwise mechanisms for both processes. Each mechanism involves the addition of an electrophile—a carbocation—to a double bond.
