(a)
Interpretation:Whether norbornene is chiral or not should be explained.
Concept introduction:Chiral carbon is any stereocenter attached to four different alkyl substituents. If any two of the substituent happen to be similar the center is regarded as achiral. However, the most essential criteria that help to distinguish a chiral or non-chiral system ispresence of any symmetry element. If any plane center or axis of symmetry is identified it makes molecule achiral and optically inactive.
Four kinds of symmetry elements that may be present are tabulated as follows:
The non-classical cation is unique carbocation that involves delocalization of electron density of filled bonding orbital over three carbons. It exists for systems such as phenonium ions,norbornyltosylate, brosylate, and nortricyclonium cations. They can be understood as carbocation that has transition state for two asymmetric equilibrium cation derived from anchimeric-assistance that represents neighboring group participation in the stabilization of positive charge as illustrated below.

However, the most essential criteria that help to distinguish a chiral or non-chiral system isthe presence of any symmetry element. If any plane center or axis of symmetry is identified it makes molecule achiral and optically inactive.
The enantiomers are identical chemical compounds that have a mirror-image relationship to each other while diastereomers do not hold mirror image relationships.

- Consider the following experiment. An a,B-unsaturated ketone (X) was prepared by refluxing 1.60 g of 2-acetyl-5-chlorothiophene (mp 46-49 oC, molar mass 160 g/mol), 1.79 g of 4- (dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (mp 72-75 oC, molar mass 149 g/mol) in a solution of 25 mL methanol and 0.8 g of sodium hydroxide. During the reflux, the reaction mixture was monitored for completion at 15 min intervals. After 90 min. the reaction was found to be about 95 % complete with a small amount of one of the reactants remaining unreacted in the reaction mixture. *After 90 minutes the mixture was allowed to cool and then acidified with 23 mL of 1 M HCl solution, and the resultant acidified mixture was rotary evaporated. The resultant mixture was transferred to a 125 mL separatory funnel and was extracted twice with 25 mL of chloroform. The combined chloroform fractions was washed twice with 20 mL water, then dried with a chemical drying agent and finally filtered. The filtrate was transferred to a round…arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between stereoisomers and enantioners? Give a real life example?arrow_forwarda.
