Interpretation:
Hydroxylation of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene with OsO4 yields different products. The structure and stereochemistry of each of the product are to be drawn and the differences between the two to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Hydroxylation of
To draw:
The structure and stereochemistry of each of the products formed during the hydroxylation of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene with OsO4 and to explain the differences between the two.

- Bicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forwardAlkenes can be hydrated to form alcohols by (1) hydroboration followed by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and (2) acid-catalyzed hydration. Compare the product formed from each alkene by sequence (1) with those formed from (2). Q.)Cyclopentenearrow_forwardReaction of hbr with 2-methylpropene yields 2 bromo 2 methylpropane. What is the structure of the carbocation formed during the reaction? Show the mechanism of reaction.arrow_forward
- Account for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when 1-methylcyclopentene is treated with reagent Q.Hg(OAc)2 in H2Oarrow_forwardConsider a reaction where cis-but-2-ene is treated with a peroxy acid followed by OH- /H20. Draw the structure of one product that is formed in the reaction, including correct stereochemistry.arrow_forwardAccount for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when 1-methylcyclopentene is treated with reagent.

- Reaction of HBr with 2-methylpropene yields 2-bromopropane. What is the structure of the carbocation intermediate formed during the reaction? Show the mechanism of the reaction.arrow_forwardExplain the observation with hydroxylation of cis-2-butene with OsO4 yields a different product than hydroxylation of trans-2-butene. First draw the structure and show the stereo chemistry each product and then molecular models.arrow_forward
