- A chemist requires a large amount of 1-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene as starting material for a synthesis and decides to carry out the following NBS allylic bromination reaction in the presence of UV light. Draw the structures of all of the observed products.arrow_forwardReaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forwardPredict the -elimination product(s) formed when each chloroalkane is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. If two or more products might be formed, predict which is the major product.arrow_forward
- What starting alkene reacted with I2 in a solution of CH2Cl2 is required to produce 1,2-diiodoocyclopentane?arrow_forward(1R,2R)-1-Bromo-2-methylcyclopentane is reacted with sodium methoxide. Given the product(s) and show the reaction mechanism, including the depiction of the transition state. Draw an energy diagram for this conversion.arrow_forwardDraw mechanism arrows and then predict the major products and stereochemistry. Also include the labels of thermodynamic and kinetic 3,4-dimethylhex-3-ene with HClarrow_forward
- Draw mechanism arrows and then predict the major products and stereochemistry. Also include the labels of thermodynamic and kinetic 1-methylcyclohexene with BH3 followed later with –OH, H2O2, and H2O.arrow_forwardDraw the major and minor neutral organic products that would form when the alkene below undergoes acid-catalyzed hydration. ignore the stereochemistry, so your two products should be regioisomers.arrow_forwardWhat is the major product obtained from treating an excess of each of the following compounds with Cl2 in the presence of ultraviolet light at roomtemperature? Disregard stereoisomers.arrow_forward
- Show how the following starting materials are converted to the given product by a series of two pericyclic reactions. Account for the observed stereochemistry.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the product of the reaction below?arrow_forwardPredict the products of the following reactions. Show stereochemistry and regiochemistry of the product, where relevant.arrow_forward
