- : Treatment of (CHa)CHCH(OH)CH,CH3 with TSOH affords two products (M and N) with molecular formula CgH12. The 'H NMR spectra of M and N are given below. Propose structures for M and N and draw a mechanism to explain their formation. 1H NMR of M 3H 1H NMR of N 3H 3H 3 H 1H 3 H 2 H 2H 2H 8 7 6 4 1 0 9 8. 2 1 ppm ppm 4.arrow_forwardThe following nucleophilic substitution occurs with rearrangement. Suggest a mecha- nism for formation of the observed product. If the starting material has the S configura- tion, what is the configuration of the stereocenter in the product?

- 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.arrow_forwardWhen cis-4-chlorocyclohexanol is treated with sodium hydroxide in ethanol, it gives mainly the substitution product trans-1,4-cyclohexanediol (1). Under the same reaction conditions, trans-4-chlorocyclohexanol gives 3-cyclohexenol (2) and the bicyclic ether (3). (a) Propose a mechanism for formation of product (1), and account for its configuration. (b) Propose a mechanism for formation of product (2). (c) Account for the fact that the bicyclic ether (3) is formed from the trans isomer but not from the cis isomer.arrow_forwardWhen cis-2-decalone is dissolved in ether containing a trace of HCl, an equilibrium is established with trans-2-decalone. The latter ketone predominates in the equilibrium mixture. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization and account for the fact that the trans isomer predominates at equilibrium.arrow_forward
