Chapter 12, Problem 12.78P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Major epoxidation product formed from X in the given reaction conditions needs to be identified

Concept introduction:

Epoxidation is the addition of a single oxygen atom to an alkene to form an epoxide ring. The weak pi bond of the alkene is broken and two new C-O sigma bonds are formed. Epoxidation is typically carried out with a peroxyacid, resulting in cleavage of the weak oxygen-oxygen bond of the reagent.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Major epoxidation product formed from X in the given reaction conditions needs to be identified

Concept introduction:

The alkene halogenation reaction is one in which a dihalide is added to a molecule after breaking the carbon-carbon double bond. The halide add to the neighbouring group from the opposite faces of the molecule. Whereas epoxidation is the addition of a single oxygen atom to an alkene to form an epoxide ring. The weak pi bond of the alkene is broken and two new C-O sigma bonds are formed. Epoxidation is typically carried out with a peroxyacid, resulting in cleavage of the weak oxygen-oxygen bond of the reagent.

H3C CH3 H3C NA C→XT Br Br₂ CH₂Cl₂ H3C Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br₂, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH₂Cl₂. CH3 Br In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions Br CH3 H3C CH3
5. An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C,H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give diol B. When oxidized with KMNO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2CO2H, and the other fragment is ketone C. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write all reactions and show your reasoning.
