Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A pair of compounds which is the most reasonable source of all the carbon atoms in the preparation of the given epoxide is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Dianion can be prepared from alpha halogenated carboxylic acids by double deprotonation using strong bases such as LDA.
Reaction of dianion of these alpha halogenated carboxylic acids with
In the first step, a new carbon-carbon single bond is formed between the carbonyl carbon of the ketone and the alpha carbon atom of the dianion.
In the second step, the oxygen atom in ketone attacks on the alpha carbon atom of the dianion to form a new carbon-oxygen single bond.
The oxygen atom in the ketone group is a source of oxygen in the
The original
In the process, a carbon-carbon single bond and a carbon-oxygen single bond are formed.

- Compounds A, B, and C have the same molecular formula C4H8. They all react wotu H2/PtO2 to give the same compound. The reaction of A or B with H2O/H2SO4 or with BH3-THF, followed by treatment with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, gives the same compound, namely D. The reaction of C with H2O/H2SO4 also gives D. However, the reaction of C with BH3-THF, followed by HO-, H2O2 gives a new compound, E. Provide the identity of A, B, C, D, and E along with explanations of reactivity.arrow_forwardThe nitro groups on the benzene ring in the reactant serve two purposes.One is to let you know what atoms in the reactant correspond to what atomsin the product.

Proteases play major roles in the regulation of biological processes, so compounds that inhibit their function, called protease inhibitors, have potential as therapeutic agents. While preparing several potential protease inhibitors, compound 1 was converted into compound 3 via alkyne 2, as shown. (J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 3963- 3972) Draw the structure of alkyne 2, and propose reagents for converting 1 into 3. Step 1 Br Br Ph alle Br Br Edit Drawing OH Modify the given structure of 1 to draw alkyne 2.
