b)
Interpretation:
How to prepare the diol shown is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A cis diol can be prepared by treating an alkene with osmium tetroxide. The addition of osmium tetroxide in to the alkene takes place with syn stereochemistry to produce a cyclic osmic ester which when cleaved using NaHSO3 yields the cis diol.
A trans diol can be prepared by acid catalyzed ring opening of epoxides with anti stereochemistry. The acid protonates the epoxide and then water attacks the protonated epoxide from the less hindered side to form an intermediate which deprotonates to yield a trans diol.
To state:
How to prepare the diol shown.

The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
