Chapter 6, Problem 6PP

PRACTICE PROBLEM 6.6

S N 2 reactions that involve substitution at a chirality center can be used to relate the configuration of one molecule to another, because we know the S N 2 reaction will occur with inversion.

(a) Illustrate how this is true by assigning R, S configurations to the 2-chlorobutane enantiomers based on the following data. [The configuration of (–)-2-butanol is given in Section 5.8C.]

(b) When enantiomerically pure (+)-2-chlorobutanc is allowed to react with potassium iodide in acetone in an S N 2 reaction, the 2-iodobutane that is produced has a minus optical rotation. What is the configuration of (–)-2-iodobucane? Of (+)-2-iodobucane?

PRACTICE PROBLEM 6.5 Using chair conformational structures (SectionA), show the nueleophilie substitution reaction that would take place when trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butyleyclohexane reacts with lodide lon. (Show the most stable conformnation of the reactant and the product.) Sy2 reactions always occur with inversion of configuration
6.2 (-)-Cameroonanol has been isolated from the essential oil of Echinops giganteus (globe thistle) plants and it is associated with a strong woody fragrance. Its structure, includ- ing relative stereochemistry, was confirmed when it was made in the laboratory according to the sequence shown below.' Recall that a C=C bond is made up of one o bond and one 7 bond. These two bonds together have a combined BDE (bond dissociation energy) of 607 kJ/mol. Use this information to estimate the AH° for the conversion of compound 1 into compound 2. Br two steps H.. H HBr hv H (-Cameroonanol
