Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The product formed from Claisen rearrangement of given starting material is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Claisen rearrangement is a thermal
Sigmatropic rearrangements are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. In these rearrangements migration of sigma bond takes place.

- Devise a synthesis of each substituted cyclopropane. Use acetylene (HC=CH) as a starting material in part (a) and cyclohexanone as a starting material in part (b). You may use any other organic compounds and any needed reagents.arrow_forwardDraw the products formed when A is treated with each reagent: (a) H2 + Pd-C; (b) mCPBA; (c) PCC; (d) CrO3, H3SO4, H2O; (e) Sharpless reagent with (+)-DET.arrow_forwardAcyclovir is an effective antiviral agent used to treat the herpes simplex virus. (a) Draw the enol form of acyclovir, and explain why it is aromatic. (b) Why is acyclovir typically drawn in its keto form, despite the fact that its enol is aromatic?arrow_forward
