Interpretation:
The amounts of stereoisomeric
Concept Introduction:
>During catalytic hydrogenation, one hydrogen atom gets attached to each of the double bonded carbon atoms.It is a stereospecific syn addition;both hydrogensadd to the same face of the double bond.
>In catalytic hydrogenation, the stereo selectivity depends on the direction from which hydrogen atoms are transferred from the catalyst to the double bond.
>In the stereochemical reactions of cycloalkenes, the product of syn addition is formed exclusively even though it is less stable stereoisomer.
>The stereoisomer in which the bulky substituents occupy maximum equatorial sites is less stable.

- Account for the fact that addition of HCl to 1-bromopropene gives exclusively 1-bromo-1-chloropropane.arrow_forwardOptically active (R)-2-bromobutane can be converted to 2-butanol under either conditions A or conditions B. Describe the stereochemistry of the product solutions for the two different conditions.arrow_forwardPlease tell the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. Also please list how many isomers can be formed in each case.arrow_forward
- How many possible monoborminated products including stereoisomers would you expect for the reaction of 2,3-dimethylpentane with Br2 in the presence of light? (4,6,5,7)?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of 3-chloro-5-propyltoluene in the window below.You do not have to consider stereochemistry.You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.arrow_forwardDraw all stereoisomers formed by monochlorination of the cis andtrans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclobutane drawn below.arrow_forward
- Most methods of making alkenes yield predominately the more stable isomer, usually the trans. Outline all steps in the conversion of a mixture of 75% trans-2-pentene and 25% cis-2-pentene into essentially pure cis-2-pentene.arrow_forwardWhat two stereoisomeric alkanes are formed from the catalytic hydrogenation of (z)-3-methyl-2-hexene? Draw and label the alkanes. What are the relative amounts of each alkane?arrow_forwardFree-radical chlorination of hexane gives very poor yields of 1-chlorohexane, while cyclohexane can be converted to chlorocyclohexane in good yield. What ratio of reactants (cyclohexane and chlorine) would you use for the synthesis of chlorocyclohexane?arrow_forward
- α-Terpinene, C10H16, is a pleasant-smelling hydrocarbon that has been isolated from oil of marjoram. On hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, α-terpinene reacts with 2 molar equivalents of H2 to yield a hydrocarbon, C10H20. On ozonolysis, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid, α-terpinene yields two products, glyoxal and 6-methyl-2,5- heptanedione. (a) How many degrees of unsaturation does a-terpinene have? (b) How many double bonds and how many rings does it have? (c) Propose a structure for a-terpinene.arrow_forwardHow can you distinguish between 1,3-cyclohexadiene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene by oxidative cleavage reactionsarrow_forwardWhat’s the role of NaBH4 in Oxymercuration-Demercuration of cyclohexene?arrow_forward
