Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes. Its anticancer, anti-inammatory, 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.
Addition of HCl to alkene X forms two alkyl halides Y and Z.a.Label Y and Z as a 1,2-addition product or a 1,4-addition product. b. Label Y and Z as the kinetic or thermodynamic product and explain why. c.Explain why addition of HCl occurs at the indicated C=C (called an exocyclic double bond), rather than the other C=C (called an endocyclic double bond).
A key step in the synthesis of β-vetivone, a major constituent of vetiver, a perennial grass found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, involved the reaction of compound A and dihalide B with two equivalents of LDA to form C. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction. β-Vetivone contains a spiro ring system—that is, two rings that share a single carbon atom.
