Chapter 20, Problem 20.42P

The stereochemistry of the products of reduction depends on the reagent used, as you learned in Sections 20.5 and 20.6. With this in mind, how would you convert 3 , 3 -dimethylbutan- 2 -one [ CH 3 CH ( CH 3 ) 3 ] to: (a) racemic 3 , 3 -dimethylbutan- 2 -ol [ CH 3 CH ( OH ) C ( CH 3 ) 3 ] ; (b) only (R)- 3 , 3 -dimethylbutan- 2 -ol; (c) only (S)- 3 , 3 -dimethylbutan- 2 -ol?

3,4-Dimethylpent-1-ene has the formula CH2“CH¬CH(CH3)¬CH(CH3)2. When pure (R)-3,4-dimethylpent-1-ene is treated with hydrogen over a platinum catalyst, the product is (S)-2,3-dimethylpentane. Has the chiral center retained its configuration during this hydrogenation, or has it been inverted?
What are the reagents used to convert 2-butyne to C4H8? What are the products when that C4H8 is mixed with OsO4, and H2O (the formula will be C4H10O2 racemic)? What is the product when C4H8 is mixed with RCO3H, and H2O (the formula will be C4H10O2 meso)?
A compound with formula C7H12O is treated with sodium borohydride in methanol to yield 2,2-dimethylcylopentanol. Write a reaction scheme showing the structures of the reactant, the reagents, and the product. Will the product be optically active? Explain.
