The following equation shows the reaction of trans-2,3-diphenyloxirane with hydrogen chloride in benzene to form 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol. (a) How many stereoisomers are possible for 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol? (b) Given that opening of the epoxide ring in this reaction is stereoselective, predict which of the possible stereoisomers of 2-chloro-1,2-diphenylethanol is/are formed in the reaction.
A step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostaglandin E1, alprostadil) is the reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.
