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.

- The reaction of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol (3,4-dimethylhexan-3-ol) with HBr generates compound A as the major product. Treatment of compound A with a strong base gives two isomers of compound B as the major product, along with one isomer of compound C and one isomer of compound D as minor products, all of which have one double-bond equivalent. Identify compounds A, B, C, and D and give their names. By what mechanism does the reaction of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol with HBr occur? By what mechanism does the reaction of A with strong base to form B occur? Propose reaction conditions for an alternative, one-step method for converting 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol directly to compound B.arrow_forwardb) Optical isomers can often be formed during these reactions. For products A-H indicate how many different optical isomers you expect to form for each from these reactions (you do not have to indicate whether they are diastereomers/enantiomers). c) In the preparation of substance D by ozonolysis, the second step is necessary treatment of the reaction mixture with zinc in acetic acid. If we forgot this step, we would get substance V instead of substance D, which would probably explode when isolated. What is the structure of substance V? *24 X 1: ozone V e) What products do you expect to form if they react with alkene X: I - HBr in diethyl ether; II - Brl in methanol; III - PhSCI in diethyl ether; IV - Selectfluor in methanol.

- Two products, A and B, are obtained from the reaction of 1-bromobutane with NH3. Compound A reacts with acetyl chloride to form C, and compound B reacts with acetyl chloride to form D. The IR spectra of C and D are shown. Identify A, B, C, and D.arrow_forwardPoly and B-Ryan are asked by their supervisor to synthesize (1R,3R)-1-chloro-1,3- dimethylcyclopentane. To accomplish their syntheses, Poly chooses to start from a trisubstituted alkene while B-Ryan chooses to start from a disubstituted alkene isomer. Poly's synthesis provides a mixture of isomers while B-Ryan's provides two stereoisomers. Both synthetic approaches are shown below.

Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide.

During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forward3-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with sodium methoxide in methanol to form 3-methoxy-2-methylpropene.
