(a)
Interpretation: The reaction mechanism for the conversion of the starting material to final acetal product needs to be shown using curved arrows.
Concept Introduction: In a mechanism, curved arrows are used to show the movement of electrons from one molecule to other or within a molecule. This attack always takes place from negative charge to positive thus, curved arrows are shown according to that.

- SH 0arrow_forward2. Please consider the two all 'cis' isomers of trimethylcyclohexane drawn below. Draw the two chair conformers of each stereoisomer below (1 and 2) and calculate their torsional interaction energies in order to identify the lower energy conformer for each stereoisomer. Based on your calculations, state which of the two stereoisomers 1 and 2 is less stable and which is more stable. [1,3-diaxial CH3 CH3 = 3.7kcal/mol; 1,3-diaxial CH3 H = 0.88kcal/mol; cis-1,2 (axial:equatorial) CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol; trans-1,2-diequatorial CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol) all-cis-1,2,3- 1 all-cis-1,2,4- 2arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward

Please complete the zig-zag conformation of the compound (3R,4S)-3,4-dichloro-2,5-dimethylhexane by writing the respective atoms in the boxes. 4arrow_forward
- c. Serricornin, the female-produced sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle, has the following structure. OH What is the maximum number of possible stereoisomers? Is this structure a meso compound? d. Please consider the natural product alkaloids shown below. Are these two structures enantiomers, diastereomers or conformers? H HO H H HN HO HN R R с R=H cinchonidine R=ET cinchonine Harrow_forwardNail polish remover containing acetone was spilled in a room 5.23 m × 3.28 m × 2.76 m. Measurements indicated that 2,250 mg of acetone evaporated. Calculate the acetone concentration in micrograms per cubic meter.arrow_forwardPlease help me answer number 1. 1. If your graphs revealed a mathematical relationship between specific heat and atomic mass, write down an equation for the relationship. I also don't understand, is the equation from the line regression the one that I'm suppose use to show the relationship? If so could you work it all the way out?arrow_forward
- Describe the principle of resonance and give a set of Lewis Structures to illustrate your explanation.arrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forwardIt is not unexpected that the methoxyl substituent on a cyclohexane ring prefers to adopt the equatorial conformation. OMe H A G₂ = +0.6 kcal/mol OMe What is unexpected is that the closely related 2-methoxytetrahydropyran prefers the axial conformation: H H OMe OMe A Gp=-0.6 kcal/mol Methoxy: CH3O group Please be specific and clearly write the reason why this is observed. This effect that provides stabilization of the axial OCH 3 group in this molecule is called the anomeric effect. [Recall in the way of example, the staggered conformer of ethane is more stable than eclipsed owing to bonding MO interacting with anti-bonding MO...]arrow_forward
