Interpretation:
Whether the cyclization and formation of a bicyclic product when (1Z,3Z,5Z)- 1,3,5-cyclononatriene is heated at 100ºC takes place in conrotatory or disrotatory manner is to be identified. Further the stereochemical relationship of the two hydrogens at the ring junction, cis or trans is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrocyclic reaction involves the cyclization of a conjugated acyclic system. These reactions are reversible and are highly stereospecific.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving even number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in conrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in disrotatory manner.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving odd number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in disrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in conrotatory manner.
To identify:
Whether the cyclization and formation of a bicyclic product when (1Z,3Z,5Z)- 1,3,5-cyclononatriene is heated at 100ºC takes place in conrotatory or disrotatory manner.
To state:
The stereochemical relationship of the two hydrogens at the ring junction, cis or trans.

- What are the stereochemical configurations of the two diastereomers of (2S,4R)-2,4-hexanediol? Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include H atoms at chiral centers only. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.arrow_forwardGiven that the change in free energy between axial and equatorial chlorine is 0.52 kcal.mol-1 , what is the difference in energy between the two chair conformations of 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorocyclohexane?What is the percent of the most stable chair conformation in solution at 298K?arrow_forwardtrans-Cyclooctene has been resolved, and its enantiomers are stable at room temperature. trans-Cyclononene has also been resolved, but it racemizes with a half-life of 4 min at 0°C. How can racemization of this cycloalkene take place without breaking any bonds? Why does trans-cyclononene racemize under these conditions but trans-cyclooctene does not? You will find it especially helpful to examine the molecular models of these cycloalkenes.arrow_forward
- Show that the (S,S) enantiomer of this (R,R) diastereomer of 1-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane also undergoes E2 elimination to give the cis diastereomer of the product. (We donot expect these achiral reagents to distinguish between enantiomers.)arrow_forwardWhy does an SN2 reaction occur with inversion of configuration stereospecifically?arrow_forwardDo Sn2 reactions always happen with inversion of stereochemistry, and does the stereocenter always change from R to S or S to R?arrow_forward
- 1-Chloro-1,2-diphenylethane can undergo E2 elimination to give either cis- or trans-1,2-diphenylethylene (stilbene). Draw Newman projections of the reactive conformations leading to both possible products, and suggest a reason why the trans alkene is the major product.arrow_forwardExplain [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangements ?arrow_forwardWhat is the stereochemical outcome of the oxidation of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexene,with KMnO4arrow_forward

(4,6,5,7)?arrow_forward1. how many stereoisomers are possible for 9,10- dibromo hexadecanoic acid? 2. Addition of bromine to palmitoleic acid primarily yields a set of enantiomers, (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid. The addition of bromine is an anti-addition to the double bond (ie, it appears to occur through the intermediary of the bromonium ion). Taking into account the stereochemistry of the cis double bond of palmitoleic acid and the stereochemistry of adding bromine, Write a three-dimensional structure for (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid!arrow_forward
