Question
Chapter FRP, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The diastereomers structures for 2,3-diphenyl-2 butene are to be written and (E)-(Z) nomenclature has to be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.
The objects or molecules that are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects or molecules and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.
The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and are not superimposable on each other.
They possess different physical as well as chemical properties, because of difference in orientations.
In
In alkenes, if the higher priority group on both the carbon is on the opposite side, configuration is termed as E-configuration.

Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide. As an illustration, show that reaction of cis-2-butene by this two-step sequence gives cis-2,3- dimethyloxirane (cis-2-butene oxide).
Write a mechanism that accounts for the formation of ethyl isopropyl ether as one of the products in the following reaction.
A. Write the mechanism for step one of this reaction. Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond.
B. Write the mechanism for step two of this reaction (where the product of step one reacts with the solvent, ethanol). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond.
C.Write the mechanism for the last step of this reaction (formation of ethyl isopropyl ether). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Cl- will act as the base in this reaction.
