Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?
A difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired configuration. a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S. b. A well known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C.

Explain the following result. Although alkenes are generally more reactive than alkynes toward electrophiles, the reaction of Cl2 with but-2-yne can be stopped after one equivalent of Cl2 has been added.
True or false? 2-bromo-2-methylpropane undergoes SN1 rather than SN2 because the nucleophile experiences steric hindrance, and a stable carbocation can be formed. When hydroxide ion reacts with 1-chloropropane the main product is 1-propanol.
