Question
Chapter 7, Problem 68PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It must be explained why, even though the base is not sterically inhibited, the stated elimination process only produces the Hofmann product.
Concept Introduction :
When a bulky base is used, beta hydrogen is abstracted from less hindered carbon resulting in less substituted

(R)-Carvone, the major component of the oil of spearmint, undergoes acid-catalyzed isomerization to carvacrol, a major component of the oil of thyme. Draw a stepwise mechanism and explain why this isomerization occurs.
Cancer of the prostate is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American males, exceeded only by lung cancer. One treatment of prostate cancer is based on the fact that testosterone and androsterone (both androgens) enhance the proliferation of prostate tumors. The drug flutamide (an antiandrogen) reduces the level of androgens in target tissues and is currently used to prevent and treat prostate cancer.Propose a synthesis of flutamide from trifluoromethylbenzene
When (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.
