(a)
Interpretation: The type of sigmatropic rearrangement in the given reaction is to be illustrated.
Concept introduction: In the sigmatropic rearrangement, the rearrangement of pi bond and the breaking of sigma bond take place. This results in the generation of new sigma bond in the product. In this type of rearrangement, the number of pi bonds remains constant in the reactant as well as in the product.

- Draw a stepwise mechanism for the attached reaction, which involves two Friedel–Crafts reactions. B was an intermediate in the synthesis of the antidepressant sertralinearrow_forwardDevise a stepwise synthesis of attached compound from dicyclopentadieneusing a Diels–Alder reaction as one step. You may also use organiccompounds having ≤ 4 C's, and any required organic or inorganicreagents.arrow_forwardSuzuki coupling of aryl iodide A and vinylborane B affords compound C,which is converted to D in the presence of aqueous acid. Identifycompounds C and D and draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversionof C to D.arrow_forward
- Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following Robinson annulation. This reaction was a key step in a synthesis of the steroid cortisone by R. B. Woodward and co-workers at Harvard University in 1951.arrow_forwardWhat is the major alkene formed when A is treated with POCl3 andpyridine? Explain why the major product is different in these reactions.arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, a key step in the synthesis of vernakalant, a drug approved in Europe in 2010 for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Pure B was separated from a mixture of diastereomers. Your mechanism must explain the trans stereochemistry of the two substituents on the six-membered ring.arrow_forward
