Question
Chapter 11, Problem 53P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanism that describes the formation of each product formed by the addition of hydrogen chloride to vinylacetylene is to be suggested.
Concept introduction:
If a reaction can proceed through two possible transition states, the one with lower energy is formed faster and the product formed is said to be kinetically controlled. The other transition state with higher energy leads to the thermodynamically controlled product.

A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2 CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structures of A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions.
α-Terpinene, C10H16, is a pleasant-smelling hydrocarbon that has been isolated from oil of marjoram. On hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, α-terpinene reacts with 2 molar equivalents of H2 to yield a hydrocarbon, C10H20. On ozonolysis, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid, α-terpinene yields two products, glyoxal and 6-methyl-2,5- heptanedione.

(b) How many double bonds and how many rings does it have?
(c) Propose a structure for a-terpinene.
