Question
Chapter 15.12, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compound that would be hydrogenated to prepare naproxen, is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrogenation is addition of hydrogen across vicinal atoms.
For hydrogenation to take place, the bonds between the vicinal atoms must be unsaturated.
Ru-BINAP is used as a hydrogenation catalyst.
When chiral ligands are used, new chirality centers with a particular configuration can be produced.
