- (1) Draw or illustrate the stereochemistry of the product between 1-Ethyl-1-cyclopentene and Br2 and (2) illustrate the reaction mechanism.arrow_forwardA novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B. M is a diazine derivative; N is a tetra-atomic cyclic compound, and O is a compound with two separate thiol groups. C. M is a thiadiazole derivative; N is a four-membered ring involving the nitrogen atom, and O results in two sulfur-centered radicals. D. M is a dithiolane derivative; N is a dimer involving the nitrogen…arrow_forwardIdentify the stereochemistry of the indicated carbon, write R or S 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.arrow_forward
