Chapter 15, Problem 15.15P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of the given reaction has to be shown.

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

Nucleophiles: A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond. The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.

Regiochemistry: if the epoxide is unsymmetrical, the nucleophile attacks at the less hindered position (less substituted).

Stereochemistry: when the attack takes place at the chiral center, inversion of configuration is observed. Only the center being attacked undergoes an inversion of configuration.

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