Chapter 28, Problem 28.48AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

An all-suprafacial [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement could in principle take place through either a chair-like or a boat-like transition state;

Concept introduction:

Electrocyclic reactions are a pericyclic reaction which occur intramolecularly. These reactions will result in the formation of ring compounds under the influence of heat or light. Notably, in this process one new sigma bond is formed and one old π-bond is consumed. Intriguingly, the reverse ring opening electrocyclic reaction can also be possible to occur under the same reaction mechanism but in reverse manner.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

When the terpene germacrone is distilled under reduced pressure at 165 °C, it is transformed to β-elemenone by a Cope rearrangement. The structure of germacrone, including its stereochemistry is to be deduced.

Concept introduction:

Sigmatropic reaction can be described as the migration of allylic sigma bond at one end of the π-electron system to the other end of the π-electron system as an uncatalyzed intramolecular reaction. The formation of sigma bond at 3, 3-position of a 1, 5-diene is called as cope rearrangement. Notably, [3, 3] sigmatropic reaction of allyl vinyl ether is termed as Claisen rearrangement.

most of the additions of bromine to double bonds gave entirely antistereochemistry. Explain why the addition to phenanthrene gives a mixture of synand anti stereochemistry.  When the product from (c) is heated, HBr is evolved and 9-bromophenanthrene results.Propose a mechanism for this dehydrohalogenation.
Benzene is one of the compounds used as octane enhancers in unleaded gasoline. It is manufactured by thecatalytic conversion of acetylene to benzene: 3C2 H2(g) ⇌ C6 H6(g). Which value of Kc would make this reactionmost useful commercially? Kc ≈ 0.01, Kc ≈ 1, or Kc ≈ 10. Explain your answer
Doxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. Except for the Nef reaction in Step 8, we have seen examples of all other types of reactions involved in this synthesis. Q. Assuming that the two side chains on the cyclopentanone ring are trans, how many stereoisomers are possible from this synthetic sequence?
