Interpretation:
The way by which the given synthesis is being accomplished has to be shown and explanation for the stereoselective synthesis of 10-trans-12-cis isomer.
Concept introduction:
Wittig Reaction: It is an organic reaction where an
Non-stabilized ylide (having electron donating group on negatively charged carbon) gives Z-isomer whereas stabilized ylide (having electron withdrawing group on negatively charged carbon) gives E-isomer.
Non–stabilized ylide (having electron donating group on negatively charged carbon) gives Z–isomer whereas stabilized ylide (having electron withdrawing group on negatively charged carbon) gives E–isomer.

- Following is the structure of miconazole, the active antifungal agent in a number of over-the-counter preparations, including Monistat, that are used to treat vaginal yeast infections. One of the compounds needed for the synthesis of miconazole is the trichloro derivative of toluene shown on its right. (a) Show how this derivative can be synthesized from toluene. (b) How many stereoisomers are possible for miconazole?arrow_forwardAn aromatic hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C13H20 has an 1H NMR spectrum with a signal at ~7 ppm that integrates to 5H. It also has two singlets; one of the singlets has 1.5 times the area of the second. What is the structure of the aromatic hydrocarbon?arrow_forwardThe deuterated ethanol shown can be converted to an alkyl halide via a mesylate intermediate. Complete the mechanism, draw the final product (with nonbonding electrons) and select the correct absolute stereochemistry of the starting material and the final product.arrow_forward
- The free-radical bromination of the following compound introduces bromine primarily at the benzylic position next to the aromatic ring. If the reaction stops at the monobromination stage, two stereoisomers result. Draw the two stereoisomers that result from monobromination at the benzylic position.arrow_forwardFuran undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran. Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.arrow_forwardCompounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane. Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene. Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of X? • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. . Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. наarrow_forward
- A CHEM 245 student attempts the following reaction to synthesize the desired ether below, but he is unsuccessful: H2SO4, CH3OH OCH3 desired ether racemic mixture (a) Use what you have learned in CHEM 241 to predict the structure of the major product he did collect: H2SO4, CH3OH (only one stereoisomer required) (b) Propose a reaction sequence that would be more likely to provide him with the desired ether product: OCH3 desired ether racemic mixture 3. Write out a complete mechanism for the reaction below: CH3 H3C CH3 H H Mechanism: 2.arrow_forwardAn aromatic hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C13H20 has an 1 H NMR spectrum with a signal at ~7 ppm that integrates to 5H. It also has two singlets; one of the singlets has 1.5 times the area of the second. What is the structure of the aromatic hydrocarbon?arrow_forwardThe epoxide starting material shown here is a synthetic derivative of the antimalarial drug artemisinin. When treated with hexafluoro-2-propanol and catalytic acid, it undergoes an epoxy ring-opening reaction for which the regiochemical outcome and stereochemical outcome are both opposite of what you might have expected. Explain these observations with a plausible mechanism. F3C H, -OH H, F3C CF3 [H3O*] CF3arrow_forward
