Chapter 10, Problem 38DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The combination of alkene and alkyl halide that must be treated with tributyltin hydride in order to prepare the compound shown by free radical addition is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Tributyltin hydride is a reducing agent. It converts an alkyl halide to an alkane through the formation of an alkyl free radical.

This free radical can undergo a reaction with another molecule having a double bond.

The two ends of the double bond are two possible sites of reaction.

The reaction proceeds to form the more stable free radical.

The more stable free radical is the one which is more substituted.

Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide. As an illustration, show that reaction of cis-2-butene by this two-step sequence gives cis-2,3- dimethyloxirane (cis-2-butene oxide).
The Wittig reaction can be used for the synthesis of conjugated dienes as the example below, 1-phenyl-penta-1, 3-diene.  Propose two different sets of reagents that could be combined in a Wittig reaction to give 1-phenyl-1,3-pentadiene.
Determine all of the products obtained from the addition of HCl to the 1,3-diene. Once determined, draw a mechanism that accounts for the formation of every product. Then, Identify and account for the formation of the major adduct/or adducts under these conditions assuming that the reaction is conducted under thermodynamic conditions.
