Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure for products A, B, C, and D with stereochemistry are to be written.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired electrons, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
Alcohols on reaction with potassium metal, produce hydrogen gas and alkoxides. Ether is formed when alkoxide and alkyl halide react with each other.
Alcohols form tosylates on reaction of tosyl chloride in presence of pyridine. Alcohols in presence of potassium carbonate, produce alkoxide. Alkoxides on
Nucleophilic substitution reaction is a reaction in which an electron rich nucleophile attacks the positive or partial positive charge of an atom or a group of atoms to replace a leaving group.

The nucleophilic substitutions in which a nucleophile replaces a leaving group are known as
The stability of carbocation:
The molecules that are non-superimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
A pair of two mirror images that are non-identical is known as enantiomers which are optically active.
The objects or molecules that are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects or molecules and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.
The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
The stereoisomers that are non-superimposable on each other and not mirror images of each other are known as diastereomers.
Chiral molecules are capable of rotating plane polarized light

- Drawn below are the structures of (+)-menthol and (-)-menthol. These are stereoisomers of one another. They have identical physical properties are indiscernible by most laboratory techniques (e.g. melting point, boiling point, IR spectroscopy), except they interact with polarized light differently (hence the +/- designation). Curiously, they can be perceived differently by humans by our sense of smell. (a) Make a model of the structures or draw them both and describe how they are related geometrically.

When 2 mol of 2-methyl-2-butene is added to 1 mol of BH3, the product formed is bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane, nicknamed in reagent "disiamylborane." Write its structure. Bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane is a useful certain syntheses that require a sterically hindered borane. (The name “disiamyl" comes from "disecondary-iso-amyl," a completely unsystematic and unacceptable name. The name "amyl" is an old common name for a five-carbon alkyl group.) donbyarrow_forward
