The following chiral compound undergoes a stereospecific E2 reaction, where only one stereoisomer is produced as product. What is the product of the reaction?
When cyclopentene is treated with Br2 in the presence of CH2Cl2 solvent, the major substrate product is __ .
The Stille reaction is similar to the Suzuki reaction. It replaces the alkenyl-organoboron compound of the Suzuki reaction with an alkenyl-organotin compound. (R is an alkyl group such as methyl or butyl.) Unlike the alkenyl-organoboron compound that always has a trans configuration, the alkenyl-organotin compound can have a cis configuration. What is the product of the Stille reaction shown here?
show an arrow pushing mechanism for the reaction between α-phellandrene and maleic anhydride. Explicitly identify which reactant is the diene and which is the dienophile. Mark the chiral carbon on the α-phellandrene with a *. Draw the 4 possible products from the reaction between α-phellandrene and maleic anhydride. These should include an (R)-endo, (R)-exo, (S)-endo, (S)-exo. Which set of products would be predicted as the major product, endo- or exo-? Explain your reasoning.
Is haloperidol chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?
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?
Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
Fill in the major products to complete the transformations. Be sure to pay carefulattention to stereochemistry where appropriate. If the major product is a pair of enantiomers or diastereomers be sure to draw them both. And indicate whether you have drawn an enantiomer or a diastereomer. (Don't forget about rearrangement).

Enolates are formed by deprotonation of an α-carbon hydrogen. Answer the following questions about enolate formation. In the molecule shown, select the α-carbon hydrogen that would be removed to form an enolate when NaOEt is used as a base. Draw the thermodynamic enolate that results for the molecule in Part 1. Draw only the enolate resonance form that includes a formal charge on the α carbon. Be sure to indicate that formal charge as well as any lone pair of electrons in your answer.
