Interpretation:
Given that norbornadiene can be prepared by reaction of chloroethylene with 1,3-cyclopentadiene, followed by treatment of the product with sodium ethoxide. The overall scheme is to be written and the two kinds of the reactions involved are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
In Diels-Alder reaction, a dienophile reacts with a diene to yield a cyclic adduct. The reaction takes place through 1,4 addition of the dienophile into the diene through a cyclic transition state. These reactions occur rapidly with dienophiles having electron withdrawing substituent groups in conjugation with the double bond and if the diene adapts a s-cis conformation during the reaction. The reaction takes place in endo manner.
On treatment with bases, organic halides dehydrohalogenate to yield
To write:
The overall scheme for preparing norbornadiene by reacting chloroethylene with 1,3-cyclopentadiene, followed by treating the product with sodium ethoxide and to identify the two kinds of the reactions involved.

- 2) (4 pt) After the reaction was completed, the student collected the following data. Crude product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using recrystallization. Student B's data: Crude product data "Pure" product data after recrystallization Crude mass: 0.93 g grey solid Crude mp: 96-106 °C Crude % yield: Pure mass: 0.39 g white solid Pure mp: 111-113 °C Pure % yield: a) Calculate the crude and pure percent yields for the student's reaction. b) Summarize what is indicated by the crude and pure melting points.arrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forward
