The use of curved arrows is a powerful tool that illustrates even complex reactions. a.Add curved arrows to show how carbocation A is converted to carbocation B. Label each new σ bond formed. Similar reactions have been used in elegant syntheses of steroids. b.Draw the product by following the curved arrows. This reaction is an example of a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, as we will learn in Chapter 25.
Could you help show the reagent and the synthetic intermediates to the product?
Using curvedarrows to show the movement of electrons, draw a mechanism for the SN2 reaction below.
I need help on the order of the listed reagents to make the final product.
All are true or false a) The initially formed b-hydroxy carbonyl compound loses water in a Aldol condensation. b) Equilibrium favors the starting materials with both aldehydes and ketones for Aldol reactions. c)The Claisen reaction is a type of nucleophilic addition? d) The b-hydroxy carbonyl product of an Aldol reaction is oftentimes not the final isolated product. e)b-Ketoester and an enolate are the two starting materials for a Robinson annulation
Draw the structure of the main product of the reaction sequence shown above. Assume an acidic workup for the last step. My previous answer of 6-Cyclopentyl-3-ethylhex-5-yn-ol seemed to be wrong!
An SN2 mechanism takes place when 3-(bromomethyl)pentane is added to each nucleophile listed below. Which nucleophile will also require an acid-base step after the substitution step in order to produce a neutral (not charged) product? A. LiN(CH3)2 B. NaI C. KN3 D. HSCH3 (Please type answer no write by hend)
Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
Can you help find the best reagent for this problem?
