- Monensin (1) is a potent antibiotic. JACS 1980, 102, 2118-2120. 1. Use arrows provided a pathway from (1) to (2) when we add a mild base sodium bicarbonate followed by iodine (I2). 2. What was a similar reaction between Br2 and an alkene? What did we name the intermediate?arrow_forwardIn the reaction from compound 10 to compound 11, why the C=C bond is retained and is not hydrogenated? f) LiAlH4, Et2O, 08C; g) Ac2O, py, DMAP, CH2Cl2, RT, 77% over 2 steps;arrow_forwarda.) What was the product of the first step (reaction involving HCl)? b.)What was the product of the second step (reaction involving NaOH)? If something else formed as the product of the first reaction, use that alternative structure as the reactant for this second reaction. c.)How would you change the reaction conditions (either step 1 or step 2) to ensure you obtained the planned final product as the major product.arrow_forward
