Chapter 11, Problem 11.24P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product formed when reaction of $\text{1-methylcyclopentene}$ with $\text{NMMO}$ in presence of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and a catalytic amount of ${\text{OsO}}_4$ takes place, is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In organic chemistry, different types of reaction are possible. Different types of reactions are substitution reaction, elimination reaction, oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. Any of the reaction can be used to convert the reactant into the desired product. The reagent ${\text{OsO}}_4$ is considered as the oxidizing agent which converts an alkene into the cis-diol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product formed when reaction of $trans\text{-2-butene}$ with $\text{NMMO}$ in presence of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and a catalytic amount of ${\text{OsO}}_4$ takes place, is to be stated.
