Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Each of the following compounds exists as a fluxional molecule that is interconverted into one or more identical forms by the sigmatropic process indicated. One structure in each case that demonstrates the process involved is to be drawn. Each process is an allowed pericyclic reaction – the statement is to be verified.
Concept introduction:
When a molecule undergoes a dynamic molecular motion involving the interchange of two or more groups which are chemically and magnetically different, then the molecule is said to have fluxionality nature. In this case, the signals corresponding to interchanged two or more groups will be identical, if the rate of exchange of the groups occurs very quickly. The fluxionality in organic molecules can be easily followed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.

- Suggest reactivity of compound A, B and C in increasing order of E2 reactionarrow_forwardGive the MAJOR product(s) for the following reactions. For example, if BOTHelimination and substitution would occur, write both products. Or, if two carboncontaining groups would be formed as a result of a molecule splitting, write bothorganic molecules. Also, as indicated, describe the stereochemistry of theproducts. If no stereochemistry exists in the final product, but if astereochemistry answer box is included for that problem, then write NOSTEREOCHEMISTRY, NONE or N/A in the corresponding box. At the end, youwill be asked to label which problems yielded products that were examples ofhemiacetals/ acetals, hemiketals/ketals, and Schiff bases. There is onehemiacetal/acetal or hemi-ketal/ketal, and one Schiff base.arrow_forwardGive the MAJOR product(s) for the following reactions.
