- Addition of HCI to the unsymmetrical alkene below could potentially give rise to two products. C2H5. CC=C: C2H5 CH3 (a) Draw the structures of the two potential carbocation intermediates. (b) State which carbocation is more stable. (c) Draw the structure of the major final product.arrow_forwardWhat is the expected carbocation structure?arrow_forward(ii) Draw the product R, including a detailed reaction mechanism for the conjugate addition reaction between the 1,3-dicarbonyl P and the a,ß-unsaturated ketone Q. Eto P OEt + Q OEt Et3N R (iv) Explain why conjugate addition is favoured over direct addition to Q in this case.arrow_forward
- Draw the product and indicate the stereochemistry when the given alcohol is treated with each reagent: (a) HBr; (b) PBr3; (c) HCl; (d) SOCl2 and pyridine.arrow_forwardThe stereochemistry of the products of reduction depends on the reagent used, as you learned in Sections 20.5 and 20.6. With this in mind, how would you convert 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one [CH3COC(CH3)3] to: (a) racemic 3,3-dimethylbutan-2- ol [CH3CH(OH)C(CH3)3]; (b) only (R)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol; (c) only (S)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol?arrow_forwardWhen (S)-5-methyl-4-hexen-2-ol is treated with PBr3. (R)-2-bromo-5-methyl-4- hexene is formed. When this compound is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol, alkene A is formed. Draw the structure of alkene A. Draw a mechanism for its formation. Use a Newman projection to explain the stereochemistry of alkene A.arrow_forward
- When treated with NaOH, the bromide below gives an alkene by the E2 mechanism, by elimination of the H atom indicated by the arrow: (a) Draw the Newman projection from which elimination takes place. (b) Draw the mechanism. (c) Draw the product with the proper stereochemistry. (d) Assign the proper stereochemical descriptor to the product. (e) Give the rate equationarrow_forward(a) Give an acceptable name for compound A. (b) Draw the organic products formed when A is treated with each reagent: [1] H3O+; [2] −OH, H2O; [3] CH3CH2CH2MgBr (excess), then H2O; [4] LiAlH4, then H2O.arrow_forward(A)Menthol, used to flavor various foods and tobacco, is the most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol. Draw its most stable conformation. Is the hydroxyl group cis or trans to the isopropyl group? To the methyl group? (b) Neomenthol is a stereoisomer of menthol. That is, it has the same constitution but differs in the arrangement of its atoms in space. Neomenthol is the second most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5methylcyclohexanol; it is less stable than menthol but more stable than any other stereoisomer. Write the structure of neomenthol in its most stable conformation.arrow_forward
- 1.What is the product of the reaction between 1,3-dibutene and bromoethene? (A) No reaction occurs (B) 4-bromocyclohexene (C) 3-bromocyclohexene (D) 3-bromocyclopentene 2. Cyclohexene undergoes hydrobromination. Which of these is a possible product? (A) Bromocyclohexane (B) All of these (C) Trans 1,2-dibromocyclohexane (D) Cis 1,2-dibromocyclohexane 3. A hydrocarbon molecule is saturated if the molecule contains (A) Single covalent bonds, only (B) A double covalent bond, only (C) A triple covalent bond (D) Single and double covalent bondsarrow_forwardDraw (3R,5S)-3,5-dimethylheptane. Use wedges and dashes to show stereochemistry.arrow_forwardBr2 in CCl4arrow_forward
