Epoxides are highly strained and can alleviate the strain by reacting under acidic and basic conditions to give different regiochemical and stereochemical products. In this epoxide tutorial, we will cover 1. ring opening of unsubstituted epoxide 2. which nucleophiles will open an epoxide 3. regiochemical and stereochemical results of basic ring opening of asymmetrical epoxides 4. regiochemical and stereochemical results of acidic ring opening Step 1: In a simple unsubstituted epoxide, a nucleophile can attack the epoxide and open the ring to give an alcohol after aqueous workup. HO: -:Nuc 2. H₂O Nuc Common nucleophiles that will undergo this reaction include alkoxides, nitriles, thiols, carbanions, acetylides, Grignard reagents and lithium aluminum hydride. Which is not a product that can be formed from epoxide ring opening? HOCH₂CH₂OH HOCH₂CH₂C=N CH₂CH₂CH₂OH OCH, OCH₂CH₂OCH,

A student wanted to know whether the greater proximity of the nucleophile to the C-2 carbon in the transition state is what causes the 1,2-addition product to be formed faster when 1,3-butadiene reacts with HCl. Therefore, she decided to investigate the reaction of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene with HCl. Her friend told her that she should use 1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene instead. Should she follow her friend’s advice?
Although dehydrohalogenation occurs with anti periplanar geometry,some eliminations have syn periplanar geometry. Examine the startingmaterial and product of attached elimination, and state whether the elimination occurs with syn or anti periplanar geometry.
