Two types of transition states are likely to occur in this shift such as chair-like and boat-like transition states. According to the Frontier-Molecular-Orbital theory, both the transition states are allowed transition states inspite of the stability difference. The product obtained from the chair-like transition state has trans-conformation whereas the product obtained from the boat-like transition state has cis-conformation.

- 6. a) The structural formulae of three isomers are shown below. - -CH2CH, CHO A OCH₂CCH3 B C-CH₂CH3 C With the aid of equations, describe the reactions of the isomers with i) Hydrazine, NH₂NH2 ii) lodine in an alkaline solution iii) Ammoniacal silver nitrate b) With the aid of equations, state the reagents and conditions required to prepare i) B from 1-phenylpropan-2-ol ii) C from benzenearrow_forwardConsider a hypothetical chemical reaction between compound A and compound B, which produces compound C as the final product. The reaction is known to be exothermic and spontaneous. However, when the reaction is carried out under certain conditions, it fails to occur.

During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forwardExplain [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangements ?arrow_forward
- Furan undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran.(a) Propose mechanisms for the bromination of furan at the 2-position and at the 3-position.
