1. (1-bromo-1, 3-dimethylcyclopentane) an optically active pure sample reacted with water. Write the complete mechanism which includes the electron-pushing arrows. Show the expected stereochemistry for each of the case and each mechanism should give two distinct products and then describe the relationship of the products to one another.
Each of the following reactions has been reported in the chemical literature and proceeds in good yield. What are the principal organic products of each reaction? In some of the exercises more than one diastereomer may be possible, but one of them is either the major product or the only product. For those reactions in which one diastereomer is formed preferentially, indicate its expected stereochemistry.
In some nucleophilic substitutions under SN1 conditions, complete racemization does not occur and a small excess of one enantiomer is present. For example, treatment of optically pure 1-bromo-1-phenylpropane with water forms 1-phenylpropan-1-ol. (a) Calculate how much of each enantiomer is present using the given optical rotation data. (b) Which product predominates—the product of inversion or the product of retention of configuration? (c) Suggest an explanation for this phenomenon.
