Which of the following statements best describes the stereospecificity of the resultingproduct of oxidation of an alkene using KmNO4? Choices:Alcohol groups are transformed into acids.Hydroxyl groups are found on the same side.Alcohol groups undergo bond rotation.Hydroxyl groups are found on opposite side.
Below is a mechanism that represents the following single reaction sequence: a certain alcohol undergoes acid- catalyzed dehydration (conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion) to form an alkene product. Write the IUPAC name of the product. Include E/Z stereochemistry. Hint: Name of the substituent of the product is similar to that of reactant.
In each case below select the synthetic procedure/s that could be used to carry out the transformation, giving the alcohol shown as the single major product.The procedures are:Hydroboration/oxidation: alkene + BH3; then H2O2, -OH.Oxymercuration: alkene + Hg(OAc)2, H2O; then NaBH4
(S)-2-Tosylpentane (stereochemistry not shown in the figure below) is converted to one of the stereoisomers of 2-bromopentane. Provide the formula of the reagent you would use to accomplish this transformation, and draw the correct stereoisomer product.
Dialkyl peroxides are a family of compounds which can be explosive when heated. These explosions begin with the following bond fragmentation (which is then followed by other reaction steps). Which process best describes this fragmentation? E2 Elimination Heterolytic dissociation Homolytic dissociation Racemization

What stereoisomers are obtained when 2-butyne undergoes each of the following reaction sequences? a. 1. H2/Lindlar catalyst 2. Br2/CH2Cl2 b. 1. Na/NH3(liq), –78 °C 2. Br2/CH2Cl2 c. 1. Cl2/CH2Cl2 2. Br2/CH2Cl2
(10pts) Compound A, C10H16, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, CioH2o. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid (CHCOOH). The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C8H14O2. Write reactions, and draw the correct structures for A-C, explain your answer in detail.
Draw a complete mechanism for the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with bromine in methanol shown below. This reaction is similar to halohydrin formation except that it is run in methanol (CH33OH) rather than water. A proper mechanism must include arrows showing electron “movement,” intermediate ions or species, and any proton transfers. You must also indicate the relative stereochemistry of the product using wedge/dash drawing.
Consider a reaction where cis-but-2-ene is treated with OsO4 followed by NaHSO3/H2O. Draw the structure of one product that is formed in the reaction, including correct stereochemistry.
