Chapter 13, Problem 74IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents used for the synthesis of epoxide 2 to allylic alcohol 1 need to be identified.

  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-PRINT (LL)-W/WILEY, Chapter 13, Problem 74IP , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: The problem is based on the concept of enantioselective epoxidation. In this process, if a chiral epoxide needs to be formed, a racemic mixture of epoxide will be formed.

Here for enantioselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols where the hydroxyl group is attached to an allylic position which is next to a C-C double bond, a catalyst is developed. This catalyst contains titanium tetraisopropoxide and enantiomer of diethyl tartrate.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the preparation of orthoester 4 from epoxide 3 needs to be proposed.

Concept Introduction: In the acid-catalyzed ring-opening of an epoxide with water, first proton transfer takes place and then nucleophilic attack takes place via an SN2 mechanism. In the end, proton transfer step takes place that removes the charge formed after the attack of the neutral nucleophile. The general reaction is represented as follows:

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
