Answer to Problem 12.43P
The reagents needed to carry out the transformation is H2/Pd-C to form the product
Explanation of Solution
Reduction of an alkene by the addition of H2 to one or both of the pi bonds. When an alkene is treated with two or more equivalents of H2 and using the Pd catalyst, reduction of both the pi bonds occurs. Syn addition of one equivalent of H2 to forms a cis alkane product. Thus one more addition of a equivalent of H2 to form an alkane. Four new C-H bonds are formed.
Reduction of the given transformation is carried out by using the Hydrogen (1 equ)/Pd-C reagent

The given product is obtained by epoxidation, it is a stereospecific reaction because cis and trans alkenes yield different stereoisomers as products. A cis alkene gives an

Answer to Problem 12.43P
The reagents needed to carry out the transformation is mCPBA or metachloro perbenzoic acid to form the product
Explanation of Solution
Two C-O bonds are formed to one oxygen atom with one electron pair from the peroxyacid and one from the pi bond. Then the weak oxygen-oxygen bond is broken to form the epoxide product.

Answer to Problem 12.43P
The reagents needed to carry out the transformation is OsO4, NaHSO3+H2O or KMnO4+H2O to form the product
Explanation of Solution
The reagent adds two oxygen atoms to the same side of the double bond in a syn fashion-to yield a cyclic intermediate. The cyclic intermediate is then to hydrolysis to cleaves the metalo oxygen bonds, forming the cis-1, 2-diol. With OsO4, sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) is added for the hydrolysis to occur. In KMnO4 only H2O is used.

Concept introduction:
The given product is antihydroxylation product. Opening of the epoxy ring by OH anion and water to form the anti dihydroxylated product.

Answer to Problem 12.43P
The reagents needed to carry out the transformation is -OH+H2O to form the product
Explanation of Solution
Epoxidation of cyclo-pentene adds an O atom from either above or below the plane of the double bond to form a single achiral epoxide. Opening of the epoxide ring occurs by the backside attack at either C - O bond. Because the epoxide is above the plane of the five-membered ring, nucleophilic attack occurs from below plane.
Reduction of the given transformation is carried out by using the -OH+H2O reagent.

Answer to Problem 12.43P
The reagents needed to carry out the transformation is LiALH4+H2O to form the product
Explanation of Solution
Because the reduction reaction follows an SN2 mechanism. The unhindered CH3X and 1 ° alkyl halides are more easily reduced than more substituted 2° and 3° halides. In unsymmetrical epoxides, nucleophilic attack of H- (from LiAIH4) occurs at the less substituted carbon atom.
Reduction of the given transformation is carried out by using the LiALH4+H2O reagent.
