- Explain how the reaction of (CH3)2CHCH(Cl)CH3 with H2O yields two substitutionproducts, (CH3)2CHCH(OH)CH3 and (CH3)2C(OH)CH2CH3arrow_forwardWhich isomer reacts more rapidly in an E2 reaction: cis-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane or trans-1bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat is the stereochemical result of a SN1 reaction that occurs at an asymmetric carbon? A) retention B) rearrangement C) inversion D) racemizationarrow_forward

- When Br2 is added to buta-1,3-diene at -15 °C, the product mixture contains 60% ofproduct A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 °C, theproduct ratio is 10% A and 90% B.(a) Propose structures for products A and B. (Hint: In many cases, an allylic carbocationis more stable than a bromonium ion.)(b) Propose a mechanism to account for formation of both A and B.(c) Show why A predominates at -15 °C and B predominates at 60 °C.(d) If you had a solution of pure A, and its temperature were raised to 60 °C, what wouldyou expect to happen? Propose a mechanism to support your predictionarrow_forwardForming an Internal Alkyne by Two Sequential SN2 Reactions Identify the terminal alkyne A and the internal alkyne B in the following reaction sequence.arrow_forwardThe stereochemistry of the products of reduction depends on the reagent used, as you learned in Sections 20.5 and 20.6. With this in mind, how would you convert 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one [CH3COC(CH3)3] to: (a) racemic 3,3-dimethylbutan-2- ol [CH3CH(OH)C(CH3)3]; (b) only (R)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol; (c) only (S)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol?arrow_forward
- Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org.
