Chapter 23.7, Problem 10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products, including the configuration in the given reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

• Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
• Intramolecular catalysis: A catalysis where catalyst is a part of the molecule that undergoes the reaction promotes the reaction in a species.
• Intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis: A catalysis where catalyst is a part of the molecule that undergoes the reaction promotes the reaction in a species by acting as a nucleophile.
