(b)
Interpretation:

Concept introduction:
Wittig reaction:
Witting reaction is the reaction between the carbonyl carbon of aldehyde or ketone and the phosphonium ylide to give an alkene. Wittig reaction is a very useful method to synthesize the compound which can’t be synthesis easily by other methods.
Specific phosphonium ylide can be prepared for specific alkene synthesis. The triphenylphosphine is reacted with alkyl halide that has required numbers of carbon. A strong base such as sodium hydride or butyllithium is added to remove proton of carbon adjacent to the phosphorus atom. The carbon of prepared phosphonium ylide have nucleophilic character and get attached to the carbonyl carbon and carbonyl oxygen get attached to the positively charged phosphorous. Triphenylphosphine oxide gets eliminated resulting in the formation of the alkene.

- The key step in a reported laboratory synthesis of sativene, a hydrocarbon isolated from the mold Helminthosporium sativum, involves the following base treatment of a keto tosylate. What kind of reaction is occurring? How would you complete the synthesis?arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the following epoxide gives a trans diol. Of the two possible trans diols, only one is formed. How do you account for this stereoselectivity?arrow_forwardThe Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and dimethylamine. - Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and - hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.arrow_forward

One treatment of prostate cancer is based on the fact that testosterone and androsterone (both androgens) enhance the proliferation of prostate tumors. The drug flutamide (an antiandrogen) reduces the level of androgens in target tissues and is currently used to prevent and treat prostate cancer.Propose a synthesis of flutamide from trifluoromethylbenzenearrow_forwardArrange the following CARBONYL compounds (INCREASING REACTIVITY towards NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION)arrow_forward
