Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why the given epoxidation reaction favors the C=C on the left is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The reagent MCPBA, a peroxyacid, forms an epoxide in a one-step reaction with an alkene following the mechanism of an electrophilic addition reaction. The electron rich nature of the C=C bond makes the reaction faster. If there are electron donating groups present, the C=C bond becomes electron rich in nature.

Part 2 (0.5 point) 0- Draw the major organic product with the correct geometry. 10 1: 70000 х く 1st attempt Part 1 (0.5 point) Feedback Please draw all four bonds at chiral centers. P See Periodic Table See Hint
Heating an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid will cause a dehydration to occur: the removal of the elements of water from a molecule, forming an alkene. The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile. Further, heating the reaction mixture causes a greater increase in the rate of E1 compared to the rate of S№1. 2nd attempt 0 See Periodic Table See Hint Draw the organic intermediate from the first step (no byproducts) and draw curved arrow(s) to show how it reacts.
