Chapter 15, Problem 15.13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given cycloalkane undergoes reaction with the given Simmons-Smith reagent which is stereospecific and gives only the isomer shown. The reason has to be suggested.

Concept Introduction:

Simmons-Smith reaction: This is ultrasonication improve the rate of formation of these organic zinc compounds, as with many organometallic reactions occurring at a surface condition.

Example: The substance of a carbenoid a carbine like substance that converters alkene into cyclopropanes stereospcically.

Addition Reaction:

• It is a type of reaction in which two reactants adding together to form a single product.
• It can be said as a reverse reaction of elimination reaction.
• It is a characteristic reaction of alkane.

Hydrogenation reaction is an addition reaction in which addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated molecule occurs

Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

Stereospecific reaction: reaction undergoes from a stereoisomer to a unique stereo isomeric product.
