Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Using the molecular model of
Concept introduction:
Catalytic hydrogenation is a stereospecific syn addition.
The major product is the one in which the alkene is less hindered and better able to contact the catalyst surface.
In catalytic hydrogenation, the stereo selectivity depends on the direction from which hydrogen atoms are transferred from the catalyst to the double bond.
The stereoisomer in which the bulky substituents occupy maximum equatorial sites is less stable.

A student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test?
A = haloform
B = Brady
A = haloform
D = Brady
B = haloform
A = Brady
B = haloform
D = Brady
D = haloform
A = Brady
D = haloform
B = Brady
Give the reagents and conditions necessary for the following conversion.
A to B, B to D, B to C, B to E, E to F, E to G, G to H, H to I. Hence deduce the name and structural formula of the compounds C and I.
Compare the procedure for converting F and E to G.
When the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds 1 and 2 are treated with HCl, only 1 forms the hydrochloride salt, whereas compound 2 is unreactive. Provide an explanation for this observed reactivity.
