Question
Chapter 19.SE, Problem 74AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stereochemistry of the chiral product obtained when 2-butanone reacts with HCN is to be given. Whether the product is optically active or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A molecule is chiral and optically active if it has a carbon attached to four different groups. When a planar achiral molecule becomes chiral during the course of a reaction, enantiomers will be produced. This is because the reagent can attack the planar compound both from above and below the plane of the molecule.
To show:
The stereochemistry of the chiral product obtained when 2-butanone reacts with HCN and to state whether the product is optically active or not.

One compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?
