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.

- Draw the hemiacetal and acetal formed when the carbonyl compound is treated with two equivalents of the given alcohol in the presence of H2SO4.arrow_forwardStarting from Cyclohexanol as the only organic reagent you have and use any other inorganic reagents to prepare:arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an acetal? H3C H;C но CH3 CH3 H3C- H3C H3C H3C OH А C A and C B and D A O A, B, and D D B.arrow_forward
- Acetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol molecules. Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates. A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction. B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction. C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a more favorable entropy of reaction.arrow_forwardWhat carbonyl compound and diol are needed to prepare each compound?arrow_forwardHow to prepare this reagent: 4% ethanolic KOHarrow_forward
