The bicyclic alkene P can be prepared by thermal electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene Q or by photochemical electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene R. Draw the structures of Q and R, and indicate the stereochemistry of the process by which each reaction occurs.
The heat of hydrogenation of cis-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene is -154 kJ (-36.7 kcal)/ mol, while that of the trans isomer is only -113 kJ (-26.9 kcal)/mol. Q.) Why is the heat of hydrogenation of the cis isomer so much larger (more negative) than that of the trans isomer?
Reaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products: cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. The analogous reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1, 2-dibromocyclohexane as the soleproduct. Draw structures of the possible intermediates, and then explain why only a single product is formed in this reaction.
