Interpretation:
A chiral compound out of the three givenFischer projections for the three stereoisomeric forms in the ozonolysis reaction of
Concept Introduction:
>Alkenes are cleaved to form carbonyl compounds by ozonolysis.In ozonolysis reaction, the absolute configurations of the chiral centers are retained if the reaction does not occur at the chiral centers.
>Two groups located on the same side of the double bond are cis to each other.
>Compounds having two chiral centers can also be achiral if they have a plane of symmetry or the axis of symmetry.

- Ketones react with alcohols to yield products called acetals. Why does the all-cis isomer of 4-tert-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol react readily with acetone and an acid catalyst to form an acetal, but other stereoisomers do not react? In formulating your answer, draw the more stable chair conformations of all four stereoisomers and the product acetal for each one.arrow_forwardDraw chemical structure with appropiate stereochemistry ( cis or trans, E or Z)Name the structuresarrow_forwardExamine the following pericyclic reactions. For each reaction, tell whether it is an electrocyclic reaction, a cycloaddition reaction, or a sigmatropic rearrangement.arrow_forward
- Optical active compound 1-chloro-3-methylcyclopentane was reacting withpotassium t-butoxide in t-butanol. Two alkene products were obtained. Themain product was optically active, and the secondary product was notoptically active. What are the two products?arrow_forward1- Chloro-1,2-diphenyletane can undergo E2 elimination to give either cis- or trans-1,2-diphenylethylene (stilbene). Draw New man projections of the reactive conformations leading to both possible products, and suggest a reason why trans alkene is the major product?arrow_forwardWrite structures for products A, B, C, and D showinf stereochemistry. (Hint: B and D are stereoisomers)arrow_forward
- The spirocyclic pentadiene derivative F shown below is converted stereospecificallyinto compound G on heating. The transformation involves two consecutive pericyclicreactions of the same type, and proceeds via compound H which is not isolated. Identify the type of pericyclic reaction occurring, and determine the structure ofcompound H.arrow_forwardWhat is the expected product? & If I were asked to show it in chair conformation form would this be satisfactory?arrow_forwardIn consideration of this class of rearrangements, the relationship between the cyclopropylcarbinyl and homoallyl cations is best described as....
