Be clear about stereochemistry. • If he put the products into a polarimeter, what kind of reading would he get? How are the molecules related? H3C 1) BH 3, THF 2) H2O2, NaOHarrow_forwardAs we will learn in Section 15.12, many antioxidants-compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring-are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring. a. Explain why homolysis of the O-H bond in phenol requires considerably less energy than homolysis of the O-H bond in ethanol (362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol). b. Why is the C-O bond in phenol shorter than the C-O bond in ethanol? -O-H CH,CH2-0-H phenol ethanolarrow_forwardDraw the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in the following electrophilic substitution reaction.
