Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The missing compounds in the given sequence of reactions are to be supplied.
Concept introduction:
An
Alcohols undergo acid-catalyzed dehydration reactions via E1 mechanism to yield a three-membered ring with the insertion of an oxygen atom, that is, epoxide.
Diazomethane, when heated in the presence of light, generates a carbene.
A carbene adds to an alkene via a three-membered transition state to produce a cyclopropane ring. This reaction also preserves the cis/trans relationships of the groups attached to the alkene carbons.
