- Based on what you know about the relative stabilities of alkyl radicals and benzylic radicals, predict the product of addition of HBr to 1-phenylpropene in the presence of a free-radical initiator. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardSuppose you are told that each reaction is a substitution reaction but are not told the mechanism. Describe how you could conclude from the structure of the haloalkane, the nucleophile, and the solvent that each reaction is an SN2 reaction.arrow_forwardDefine the E2 mechanism for the Preparation of Alkenes ?arrow_forward
- Which of the following alkenes, upon reaction with Br2 in CCl4, produces a meso dibromo product?arrow_forwardWhy does CH 2 CHCHBrCH 3 undergo solvolysis much more rapidly than 2-bromobutane?arrow_forwardA difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired configuration. a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S. b. A well known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C. Draw their structures and indicate their stereochemical relationship. c. Suggest a reagent to convert A to the single stereoisomer X.arrow_forward
- Bromine reacts with alkenes in methanol according to the equation (see image 1). When this reaction was carried out with 4-tert-butylcyclohexene, only one isomer was formed with the molecular formula C12H23BrO (80% yield) a) Which of the following is the structure more reasonable for this compound? (see image 2) b) Explain your reasoning through a corresponding mechanismarrow_forward(10pts) Compound A, C10H16, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, CioH2o. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid (CHCOOH). The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C8H14O2. Write reactions, and draw the correct structures for A-C, explain your answer in detail.arrow_forwardA difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired configuration. a.
