(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

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

  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-WILEYPLUS+ETEXT PKG., 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:

1. Answer the questions about the following reaction: (a) Draw in the arrows that can be used make this reaction occur and draw in the product of substitution in this reaction. Be sure to include any relevant stereochemistry in the product structure. + SK F Br + (b) In which solvent would this reaction proceed the fastest (Circle one) Methanol Acetone (c) Imagine that you are working for a chemical company and it was your job to perform a similar reaction to the one above, with the exception of the S atom in this reaction being replaced by an O atom. During the reaction, you observe the formation of three separate molecules instead of the single molecule obtained above. What is the likeliest other products that are formed? Draw them in the box provided.
3. For the reactions below, draw the arrows corresponding to the transformations and draw in the boxes the reactants or products as indicated. Note: Part A should have arrows drawn going from the reactants to the middle structure and the arrows on the middle structure that would yield the final structure. For part B, you will need to draw in the reactant before being able to draw the arrows corresponding to product formation. A. B. Rearrangement ΘΗ
2. Draw the arrows required to make the following reactions occur. Please ensure your arrows point from exactly where you want to exactly where you want. If it is unclear from where arrows start or where they end, only partial credit will be given. Note: You may need to draw in lone pairs before drawing the arrows. A. B. H-Br 人 C Θ CI H Cl Θ + Br O
