Complete the following reactions with the majority products and the missing reaction conditions. Indicate stereochemistry if applicable. Also indicate the type of reaction that took place (SN1, SN2, E1, E2, E1bc)
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?
The synthesis above can be performed with some combination of the reagents listed below. Give the necessary reagents in the correct order. Be sure to consider stereochemistry and regiochemistry.A. NaOHB. mCPBAC. OsO4, tBuOOHD. NaHE. H2, LindlarF. CH3CH2CH2BrG. CH3CH2ClH. NaNH2I. H3O+J. Na, NH3(l)
Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols eventhough no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C—OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, asshown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwisemechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see anotherexample of this type of rearrangement
o chem - please show stereochemistry and break down each step as much as possible
Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.
The molecules below react in a displacement reaction. Determine the products) and assign configuration (R/S) to any stereogenic centers in the product. The Cahn-Ingold - Prelog rules can be used to assign priority to the four different groups on a stereogenic center.
Use curved arrows to show how E is converted to F by a two-stepreaction sequence consisting of a [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangementfollowed by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition.
For the dehydrohalogenation (E2) reaction, draw the Zaitsev product, showing the stereochemistry clearly. You might find it helpful to make a model of the starting material to determine the correct conformation.
Why does the final product has the opposite configuration compared to the reactant? Shouldn’t it form OMs first, then OMs gets substituted by Cl- via Sn2 (the 1st inversion of configuration) then the Cl- gets substituted by OCH3- (the 2nd inversion of configuration? To my understanding 2 inversions = same configuration
For this mechanism, why are there two E1 major products? Are both of the E1 products of equal stability? Why or why not? What is the relative stability of the cycloalkenes with methyl? Also, why doesn't SN1 have two products? Is it because shifting the hydride would make it less stable?
