Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The compounds that are likely to be formed on free-radical addition of
Concept introduction:
The number of stereoisomers formed can be calculated using the formula
The absolute configuration of the chiral center is determined on the basis of the following rules:
First priority of the four groups present on the carbon atoms is decided. Higher is the
The compound undergoes rotation in order to get the least priority group above or below the plane.
If the least priority group is present below the plane, then clockwise arrangement of first three priority groups gives R configuration and anticlockwise gives S. Reverse is true if the least priority group is present above the plane.

- A difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired conguration.a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S.b. A well known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C. Draw their structures and indicate their stereochemical relationship.c. Suggest a reagent to convert A to the single stereoisomer X.arrow_forwardWhich stereoisomer of 3-hexene forms a meso compound when it reacts with Br2?arrow_forward1. how many stereoisomers are possible for 9,10- dibromo hexadecanoic acid? 2. Addition of bromine to palmitoleic acid primarily yields a set of enantiomers, (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid. The addition of bromine is an anti-addition to the double bond (ie, it appears to occur through the intermediary of the bromonium ion). Taking into account the stereochemistry of the cis double bond of palmitoleic acid and the stereochemistry of adding bromine, Write a three-dimensional structure for (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid!arrow_forward
- How many stereoisomers of 2-methyl-heptan-4-ol could form? How many would you expect to form? In what ratios? (All equal?). Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA chemist finds that the addition of (+)@epinephrine to the catalytic reduction of butan2-one gives a product that is slightly optically active, with a specific rotation of +0.45°. Calculate the percentages of (+)@butan@2@ol and (-)@butan@2@ol formed in this reaction.arrow_forward1, part A) We observe 6 carbon stereocenters in the molecule below. Indicate each stereocenter, and give the absolute S or R configuration. 1, part B) Indicate each stereoisomer in this molecule, and give the absolute S or R configuration. Then, indicate E or Z configuration of all alkenes in it (*ignoring aromatic ring*).arrow_forward

- By considering the stereochemical requirements for E2-elimination, and using an appropriate illustration need help indicating whether the more stable conformer (conformer B) of trans-1 can undergo E2 elimination. Thank you :)arrow_forwardConsider the reaction of (E)-hex-3-ene with HBr. Draw the structures for (E)-hex-3-ene and the two major organic products for its reversion with HBr.
