The reaction between singlet oxygen and limonene (below) is often used to characterize the behaviour of singlet oxygen as an electrophile rather than an initiator for a free radical mechanism. HOO Limonene Scheme 1 (a) Since singlet oxygen is a high energy state, the formation of a diradical seems plausible: 0=0* Propose a sequence of steps for this diradical reacting with limonene and explain why the major product, which is obtained (Scheme 1), does not support this reaction mechanism
Predict the product and draw the complete mechanism for the Wittig reaction shown below. Show all lone pairs of electrons and formal charges where applicable. Remember to pay attention to E/Z stereochemistry of the alkene.
