In the elimination of a vicinal dihalide to yield an internal alkyne, two equivalents of NANH2 are required-one for each equivalent of HX that is eliminated. When the product is a terminal alkyne, however, three equivalents of NaNH2 are required. Explain why. Br 2 equiv NaNH, Br Br Br 1.3 equiv NaNH, 2. H,0

For alkenes A, B, C, and D: (a) Rank A—D in order of increasing heat of hydrogenation; (b) rank A—D in order of increasing rate of reaction with H2, Pd-C; (c) draw the products formed when each alkene is treated with ozone, followed by Zn, H2O.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction that illustrates how two substitution products are formed. Explain why 1-bromohex-2-ene reacts rapidly with a weak nucleophile (CH3OH) under SN1 reaction conditions, even though it is a 1° alkyl halide.
What is the rate law implied by the mechanism given below? CH3COCH3(aq) + H+(aq) ←→ CH3C(OH)CH3+(aq) (fast, reversible) CH3C(OH)CH3+(aq) → CH3C(OH)=CH2(aq) + H+(aq) (slow) CH3C(OH)=CH2(aq) + Br2(aq) → CH3C(OH)CH2Br+(aq) + Br-(aq) (fast) CH3C(OH)CH2Br+(aq) → CH3COCH2Br(aq) + H+(aq) (fast) A. Rate = k[CH3COCH3][H+] B. Rate = k[CH3COCH3] C. Rate = k[CH3COCH3][Br2] D. Rate = k[CH3COCH3]2 E. Rate = k[CH3COCH3][Br2]/[H+] (Answer is A, looking for explanation why!).
What is the best set of conditions to convert an appropriate dihalide into a terminal alkyne? 1. 1 equivalent of NaNH2 2. 2 equivalents of NaOH 3. 2 equivalents of NaNH2 4. 3 equivalents of NaNH2, then quench with H3O+ (The third option is not the correct answer.)
Bromoetherification, the addition of the elements of Br and OR to adouble bond, is a common method for constructing rings containingoxygen atoms. This reaction has been used in the synthesis of thepolyether antibiotic monensin (Problem 18.34). Draw a stepwisemechanism for the following intramolecular bromoetherification reaction.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes. Its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and various cardiovascular effects are under active investigation. (a) Draw all resonance structures for the radical that results from homolysis of the OH bond shown in red. (b) Explain why homolysis of this OH bond is preferred to homolysis of either OH bond in the other benzene ring.
Draw the product (including stereochemistry) formed from each pair of reactants in a thermal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction
Uridine monophosphate (UMP) is one of the four nucleotides that compose RNA, the nucleic acid that translates the genetic information of DNA into proteins needed by cells for proper function and development. A key step in the synthesis of UMP is the SN1 reaction of A with B to form C, which is then converted to UMP in one step. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this SN1 reaction.
PGF2α (Section 4.15) is synthesized in cells from arachidonic acid (C20H32O2) using a cyclooxygenase enzyme that catalyzes a multistep radical pathway. Part of this process involves the conversion of radical A to PGG2, an unstable intermediate, which is then transformed to PGF2α and other prostaglandins. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of A to PGG2. (Hint: The mechanism begins with radical addition to a carbon–carbon double bond to form a resonance-stabilized radical.)
