Chapter 13.9, Problem 21P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product of the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with given reagents should be drawn.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For each reaction in part (a) Stereoisomer should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.

Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.

Achiral: A molecula has superimposable mirror images are called achiral.

Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.

Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.

Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers

Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer

A. Draw the structure(s) of the major product(s) from addition of 1 equivalent of HX to the conjugated diene. B. Show the correct mechanism using curved arrows
When 2-bromo-3-phenylbutane is treated with sodium methoxide, two alkenes result (by E2 elimination). The Zaitsevproduct predominates.(a) Draw the reaction, showing the major and minor products.(b) When one pure stereoisomer of 2-bromo-3-phenylbutane reacts, one pure stereoisomer of the major product results.For example, when (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-phenylbutane reacts, the product is the stereoisomer with the methyl groups cis.Use your models to draw a Newman projection of the transition state to show why this stereospecificity is observed
