Chapter 20, Problem 20.53P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formation in the given example of Cope rearrangement of 1,5-diene has to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Cope-rearrangement:

It is a pericyclic reaction that involves the redistribution of six electrons through the formation of a cyclic transition state from which a 1,5-diene gets converted into its isomeric form.

Example with mechanism of cope-arrangement:

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 20, Problem 20.53P , additional homework tip  1

In this mechanism, two pi-bonds and one sigma bond of the reactant molecule has been rearranged and formed two new pi-bonds through a cyclic transition state.

Identification of cope-rearrangement in a1,5-diene:

In the cope-rearrangement, the flow of electrons takes place between six bonds that are bonded as C=C-C-C-C=C. Identification of such a bonding pattern in a 1,5-diene indicates the possibility of Cope rearrangement to occur as shown here:

Diphenylacetylene can be synthesized by the double dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene. The sequence starting from (E)-1,2-diphenylethene consists of bromination to give the dibromide, followed by dehydrohalogenation to give a vinylic bromide, then a second dehydrohalogenation to give diphenylacetylene.(a) What is the structure, including stereochemistry, of the vinylic bromide?(b) If the sequence starts with (Z)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethene, what is (are) the structure(s) of the intermediate dibromide(s)? What is the structure of the vinylic bromide?
