Explain a mechanism Allylic Bromination with NBS ?
Which is the better retrosynthesis for the given target molecule? Explain, and provide a one-step synthesis of the target molecule. A A is the better starting material because B can form both E and Z alkenes. B A is the better starting material because it will produce only the desired target molecule. C B is the better starting material because only B has β protons in the trans position. D B is the better starting material because A can form both E and Z alkenes. E B is the better starting material because it will produce only the desired target molecule. F A is the better starting material because only A has β protons in the trans position.
In an E1 mechanism the leaving group leaves first to form a carbocation andsubsequently a proton is removed by a base to form the alkene. In an E2 mechanism theproton and the leaving group leave at the same time.
