Chapter 13, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of isodrin is to be proposed, which obtained when cyclopentadiene undergoing a Diels–Alder reaction with hexachloronorbadiene.

Concept introduction:

A Diels–Alder reaction is one between a conjugate diene and a reactant containing a double bond (dienophile) to form a product. The product is called adduct.

Diels–Alder reactions are highly stereospecific. The configuration of the dienophile is retained in the product and the reaction is a syn addition reaction.

The dienes react with dienophiles in cis forms rather than trans forms.

Endo is favored in the transition state of a Diels–Alder reaction because it has a lower energy.

Provide Examples of dehydrohalogenation of dihalides to afford alkynes ?
The reaction of a phosphonium ylide with a ketone or aldehyde produces an alkene, but, as shown in Problem 17.57, the reaction of a sulfonium ylide produces an epoxide. Explain why. Hint: What is the major driving force for the Wittig reaction to produce an alkene? The S-O bond energy in dimethyl sulfoxide is 362 kJ/mol.
Diphenylacetylene can be synthesized by the double dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene. The sequence starting from (E)-1,2-diphenylethene consists of bromination to give the dibromide, followed by dehydrohalogenation to give a vinylic bromide, then a second dehydrohalogenation to give diphenylacetylene.(a) What is the structure, including stereochemistry, of the vinylic bromide?(b) If the sequence starts with (Z)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene, what is (are) the structure(s) of the intermediate dibromide(s)? What is the structure of the vinylic bromide?
