Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and type of alkene that isselected between cis-2-alkene and trans-2-alkene so that it successfully undergoes epoxidation process in presence of acid for the formation of meso-2,3-butanediol and the analyzation of the alkene that form meso-2,3-butanediol in presence of OsO4 dihydroxylation is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

In comparison to simple ethers, epoxides show higher reactivity towards nucleophilic reagents.

>

On reacting with anionic nucleophiles, epoxides form ring-opened products. This reaction is quite rapid and is exothermic in nature.

>

The high reactivity of epoxides towards anionic nucleophiles is due to the presence of angle strain in epoxide and this is relieved by opening of the ring.

What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1. PPh3 3 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
