Chapter 22, Problem 41P
2-Acetoxycyclohexyl tosylate reacts with acetate ion to form 1,2-cyclohexanediol diacetate. The reaction is stereospecific—that is, the stereoisomers obtained as products depend on the stereoisomer used as a reactant. Recall that because 2-acetoxycyclohexyl tosylate has two asymmetric centers, it has four stereoisomers—two are cis and two are trans. Explain the following observations:
- a. Both cis reactants form an optically active trans product, but each cis reactant forms a different trans product.
- b. Both trans reactants form the same racemic mixture.
- c. A trans reactant is more reactive than a cis reactant.

Explain why a carbonyl absorption shifts to lower frequency in an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound—a compound having a carbonyl group bonded directly to a carbon–carbon double bond. For example, the carbonyl absorption occurs at 1720 cm−1 for cyclohexanone, and at 1685 cm−1 for cyclohex-2-enone.

- Click the "draw structure" button to launch the drawing utility. Under certain reaction conditions, 2,3-dibromobutane reacts with two equivalents of base to give three products, each of which contains two new T bonds.

What is the structure of C?arrow_forwardIn some nucleophilic substitutions under SN1 conditions, complete racemization does not occur and a small excess of one enantiomer is present. For example, treatment of optically pure 1-bromo-1-phenylpropane with water forms 1-phenyl-1-propanol. (a) Calculate how much of each enantiomer is present using the given optical rotation data.
