Interpretation:
The stereoisomer required to obtain the given products in presence of
Concept introduction:
Addition Reaction: It is defined as
In addition reaction of
Stereoisomers: Two compounds with same molecular formula but different in their orientation are considered as isomers.
The presence of atom with non-super impossible mirror image is defined as enantiomers which are given
Meso compound: The compound with chiral carbon that also have plane of symmetry which actually makes the compound achiral that does not have an enantiomer (Non-superimposable mirror images).
R and S nomenclature: it is used to assign the molecule using CIP rules.
The CIP rules are as follows:
Select the chiral carbon and assign the numbers according to the decreasing
If the numbering follows clockwise direction then the molecule is termed as R and if it follows anti-clockwise direction then molecule is termed as S.

- Which isomer reacts more rapidly in an E2 reaction: cis-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane or trans-1bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhen Br2 is added to buta-1,3-diene at -15 °C, the product mixture contains 60% ofproduct A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 °C, theproduct ratio is 10% A and 90% B.Show why A predominates at -15 °C and B predominates at 60 °C.arrow_forwardWhen buta-1,3-diene (CH2 = CH – CH = CH2) is treated with HBr, two constitutional isomers are formed, CH3CHBrCH = CH2 and BrCH2CH = CHCH3. Draw a stepwise mechanism that accounts for the formation of both products.arrow_forward
