Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It is to be explained why the attempt to synthesize an epoxide according to the given reaction scheme failed.
Concept introduction:
In the most stable form of substituted cyclohexane, the bulkiest group occupies the equatorial position. The substituents attached to the cyclohexane are cis if they lie on the same side of the plane of the ring, and they are trans if they lie on the opposite side of the plane of the ring.

- Help please, explain in detail. Thank you!arrow_forwarda) Propose a mechanism for the following electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction used to make the synthetic dye shown below. This reaction is also called a “diazo coupling”. b) Explain why the para pathway would be favored over the meta pathway. Be sure to draw all resonance structures for the para pathway and include a sentence or two for a full explanation. Why would the para pathway be favored over the ortho pathway?arrow_forwardQuestion (Organic Chemistry) Consider molecules A–D. Does the arrow pushing in each structure leadto an acceptable resonance form? If so, explain why it is acceptable or unacceptable? What are the rules and logic? If so, draw it and carefully explain your answer and provide explanations for why each structure leds to an acceptable or unacceptable resonance form. Why is the arrow pushing acceptable or unacceptable in each individual case? Explain you answer with many details, logic, and in a step-by-step fashion.arrow_forward
- please answer part c and d!arrow_forwardThe following elimination reaction results in a mixture of products. Explain why the major products obtained in larger quantities than the minor products. Use chemical structures as necessary to justify your answer.arrow_forwardHelp! Please explain in detail. Thank you! Avobenzone is an active component in many sunscreens. It can exist in an equilibrium between its keto and enol forms. The enol from of avobenzone is given below. (A) Draw the keto form of this compound (B) Which tautomer (keto or enol) exists in a higher equilibrium percentage? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Deuterium (D) is an isotope of H. Both D and H have one proton and one electron; H has no neutrons and D has one. Consequently, D and H have nearly identical behavior, but they can be distinguished from each other experimentally due to their different masses. Therefore, replacing an H with a D in a molecule-deuterium isotope labeling-can provide valuable information about a mechanism. With this in mind, how would you synthesize each of the following deuterium-labeled compounds from the analogous unlabeled compound, using D,0 as your only source of deuterium? Hint: You will have to use two separate proton transfer reactions to synthesize each one. (a) (b) (c) OD D.arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution ....arrow_forwarda) The alkene drawn here undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction with HBr. Ś i) Give the IUPAC name of this molecule. ii) Outline the mechanism of this reaction. Your mechanism should show the formation of BOTH possible products and should also name both products. iii) Explain why the Markovnikov rule does not predict a major product in this case. b) The common name of the molecule drawn below is diisopropyl ether. Its structural formula is (CH3)2CHOH(CH3)2. tot It can be synthesized in two steps using the starting materials propan-2-ol, 2-chloropropane and sodium metal. One of these steps is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. i) Using structural formulae, write two balanced chemical equations representing the two steps of this synthesis. No state symbols are required. ii) Outline the mechanism of the nucleophilic substitution step.arrow_forward
