Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.78P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism to explain the given result is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Carbonyl compounds in presence of base, loses its alpha hydrogen to form enolate. Enolates have negatively charged oxygen with adjacent carbon-carbon double bond. Enolates are resonance stabilized species.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation: The validation of the fact that optically pure isomer is obtained regardless of the amount of base used in litorene is to be stated with an explanation.

(−)-Hyoscyamine, an optically active drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, is isolated from Atropa belladonna, the deadly nightshade plant, by a basic aqueous extraction procedure. If too much base is used during isolation, optically inactive material is isolated. (a) Explain this result by drawing a stepwise mechanism. (b) Explain why littorine, an isomerisolated from the tailower plant in Australia, can be obtained optically pure regardless of the amount of base used during isolation.
