When HBr reacts with an unsymmetrical alkene, e.g. Me2C=CH2, two products are possible. a) when the reaction is carried out in the presence of a radical initiator, the alternative product ( the anti Markovnikov product) usually predominates. Give the mechanism for this reaction, and hence an explaination of the product distribution. b) give the mechanism for the reaction between CH2=CH2 and O3 and name the products formed.

A novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B. M is a diazine derivative; N is a tetra-atomic cyclic compound, and O is a compound with two separate thiol groups. C. M is a thiadiazole derivative; N is a four-membered ring involving the nitrogen atom, and O results in two sulfur-centered radicals. D. M is a dithiolane derivative; N is a dimer involving the nitrogen…

The bicyclo [3.1.0] hexane ring system, highlighted in compound 3, is found in several natural products, including sabinene, a compound partially responsible for the flavor of ground black pepper. One method for preparing this ring system involves the conversion of compound 1 to compound 2, as shown below. Draw the structure of compound 2 and provide a reasonable mechanism for its formation. Add any remaining curved arrows to complete step one of the mechanism, and modify the given drawing as needed to show the intermediate that is formed in this step.
