The standard procedure for synthesizing a compound is the stepwise progress toward a target molecule by forming individual bonds through single reactions. Typically, the product of each reaction is isolated and purified before the next reaction in the sequence is carried out. One of the ways nature avoids this tedious practice of isolation and purification is by the use of a domino sequence in which each new product is built on a preexisting one in stepwise fashion. A great example of a laboratory domino reaction is William S. Johnsons elegant synthesis of the female hormone progesterone. Johnson first constructed the polyunsaturated monocyclic 3 alcohol (A) and then, in an acid-induced domino reaction, formed compound B, which he then converted to progesterone. A remarkable feature of this synthesis is that compound A, which has only one stereo-center, gives compound B, which has five stereocenters, each with the same configuration as those in progesterone. We will return to the chemistry of Step 2 in Section 16.7 and to the chemistry of Steps 3 and 4 in Chapter 19. In this problem, we focus on Step 1. (a) Assume that the domino reaction in Step 1 is initiated by protonation of the 3 alcohol in compound A followed by loss of H2O to give a 3 carbocation. Show how the series of reactions initiated by the formation of this cation gives compound B. (b) If you have access to a large enough set of molecular models or to a computer modeling program, build a model of progesterone and describe the conformation of each ring. There are two methyl groups and three hydrogen atoms at the set of ring junctions in progesterone. Which of these five groups occupies an equatorial position? Which occupies an axial position?

Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. When the kinetics of the reaction are measured, if the rate of the reaction is found to be dependent only upon the concentration of the alkyl halide the reaction is first order. The substitution reaction is thus termed SN1, and the elimination reaction is termed E1. These reactions are unimolecular and occur in two steps. The first step is rate-limiting and involves the loss of the leaving group to form a carbocation. In the second, fast, step the nucleophile adds to the carbocation in the SN1 reaction or elimination occurs to give an alkene in the E1 reaction. Because the carbocation is planar, the nucleophile can add to either face and therefore racemization is usually observed although solvent effects can influence this somewhat. E1 elimination follows Zaitsev’s rule and typically yields the most substituted alkene as the major product. Conditions which favor the SN1/E1 pathway include the use of a weak…

I have this task in organic chemistry (book: Brown's introduction to organic chemisty, global edition). Task 10:42. In (a) I have to tell what the funcion of K2CO3 is in step 1. Is it that CO32- take the hydrogen atom in 1-napthol? Will it then be a SN2 mechanism? In (b) I have to name the amine used in step 2 to form Propanolol. But I can't really find out how to come up with an amine that will make that reaction. Here are two pictures of the task:
Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.
Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):
