When carbonyl compounds are reduced with a reagent such as LiAlH4 or NaBH4 and a new stereogenic center is formed, what will the composition of the product mixture be?
Forms more of one enantiomer than another because of steric reasons around the carbonyl
Forms more of one enantiomer than another depending on the temperature of the reaction
Forms different products depending on the solvent used
Forms a racemic mixture of the two possible enantiomers
Draw one of the two enantiomers of the major product from this
reaction. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate stereochemistry
where appropriate. Ignore inorganic byproducts.

The following bicyclic ketone has two a-carbons and three a-hydrogens. When this molecule
is treated with D,O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three a-hydrogens
exchange with deuterium. The a-hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange.
H
these two a-hydrogens exchange
H.
this a-hydrogen
does not exchange
H
How do you account for the fact that two a-hydrogens do exchange but the third
does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of
a-hydrogens occurs.

- Draw a structural formula for the major product of the reaction shown.arrow_forwardA chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.arrow_forwardChemistry Suppose that racemic lactic acid reacts with 1-propanol (achiral) to form an ester.

- Draw a structural formula for the major product of the reaction shown. -CH₂CH3 Br₂ H₂O • Show product stereochemistry IF the reactant alkene has both carbons of the double bond within a ring. • Do not show stereochemistry in other cases. • If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.arrow_forwardPredict the neutral product of treating the given alkene with the reagents shown. Only draw one enantiomer if more than one is possible. Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing wedge‑and‑dash bonds. Include hydrogens on chirality centers.arrow_forwardAlkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions -X티 Hö: H-O -CH3 -CH3 H30*arrow_forward
