- Hh.63.arrow_forwardIdentify the missing reagents a-f in the following scheme:arrow_forwardWhen (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH,nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When theisomeric halide (R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OHunder the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an opticallyactive solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explainwhy the difference in optical activity is observed.arrow_forward
- Mustard gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagentarrow_forwardWhen (ft)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (fl)-2-bromo-2,5- dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.arrow_forward4) Provide a mechanism that explains the formation of B and C when compound A is treated with NAOME. (Note: Compound C is not formed directly from A). 1) NaOMe, MeOH 2) H,O* A 2.arrow_forward
- Acyclovir is an effective antiviral agent used to treat the herpes simplex virus. (a) Draw the enol form of acyclovir, and explain why it is aromatic. (b) Why is acyclovir typically drawn in its keto form, despite the fact that its enol is aromatic?arrow_forwardDraw a curved arrow mechanism for the following acid-catalyzed isomerization reaction. Draw three intermediate structures and provide curved arrows. Use the spaces provided.arrow_forwardIdentify the lettered compounds in each reaction sequence.Draw the product formed when phenylacetonitrile (C6H5CH2CN) istreated with below reagent. [1] CH3MgBr; [2] H2Oarrow_forward

Fill in the following synthetic scheme by drawing the structure of intermediate 2 and product 3. The chemical formula of product 3 is provided as guidance.arrow_forwardPQ-18. Which set of reagents will yield this ether at the fastest rate? (A) (C) OH ONa EtONa EtOH (B) (D) ONa EtONa EtClarrow_forward
