The tosylate of (25,35)-3-phenylbutan-2-ol undergoes an E2 elimination on treatment with sodium ethoxide. Draw the structure of the alkene that is produced. Use the wedge hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds oa it.

Draw the structural formulas for the first two intermediates formed in the hydrolysis of (1R,2S)-1,2-epoxy-1-methylcyclopentane with aqueous acid. Show stereochemistry if product is a meso compound.
When oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) labeled with radioactive carbon-14 in position 2 are incubated with citrate synthase, an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, only the following enantiomer of [2-l4C]citric acid is formed stereoselectively. Note that citric acid containing only 12C is achiral. Assign an R or S configuration to this enantiomer of [2-14C]citric acid. (Note: Carbon-14 has a higher priority than carbon-12.)
Anhydride means "without water". Suppose 1M H2SO4 were substituted for the concentrated H2SO4. Would the yield of acetylsalicylic acid be increased, decreased, or unaffected by the substituition? Explain
The reaction of 2-ethyl-1-pentene with Br2, with H2 + Pd/C, or with R2BH/THF followed by aqueous HO- + H2O2 leads to a racemic mixture. Explain why a racemic mixture is obtained in each case.

Farnesyl diphosphate is cyclized to sesquiterpene A, which is then converted to the bicyclic product epi-aristolochene. Write a stepwise mechanism for both reactions.
Treatment of either anomer of fructose with excess ethanol in the presence of a trace ofHCl gives a mixture of the a and b anomers of ethyl-d-fructofuranoside. Draw the startingmaterials, reagents, and products for this reaction. Circle the aglycone in each product
In the reaction of trans-cinnamaldehyde under the conditions of 2-propanol and gamma-Al2O3, the product yielded is cinnamyl alcohol. When the reaction was first performed the GC and IR showed signals of the formation of a carbocation-like intermediate on the phenyl ring. The 2-propanol used contained high amounts of HCl. How does the high amount of HCl in 2-propanol affect gamma-Al2O? Also, show the intermediate that was formed? The second reaction performed did not contain high amounts of HCl so the product formed was cinnamyl alcohol. Draw the proton NMR spectrum of cinnamyl alcohol.
Consider a solution made up of 90% R and 10% S. What is the enantiomeric excess (ee%) of the R enantiomer?
Cembrene, C20H32, is a diterpenoid hydrocarbon isolated from pine resin. Cembrene has a UV absorption at 245 nm, but dihydrocembrene (C20H34), the product of hydrogenation with 1 equivalent of H2, has no UV absorption. On exhaustive hydrogenation, 4 equivalents of H2 react, and octahydrocembrene, C20H40, is produced. On ozonolysis of cembrene, followed by treatment of the ozonide with zinc, four carbonylcontaining products are obtained: Propose a structure for cembrene that is consistent with its formation from geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
A chemist was charged with the task of making amino alcohol 2. This chemist decided to attempt a Grignard reaction between two equivalents of phenylmagnesium bromide and amino ester 1. To this end, two equivalents of the Grignard reagent were added to a flask containing a stirred THF solution of ester 1 at -78 °C. Upon acidic aqueous work-up of the reaction mixture, the desired alcohol 2 was not isolated, even though one equivalent of methanol was produced and all the starting materials were consumed. Instead, two products with the molecular formulae of C6H6 and C7H13NO were obtained in a 2:1 ratio, respectively. Identify the structures of these two products and describe, mechanistically, how they were formed.
