Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The compounds are formed by the tandem reaction with given substrates are to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The ring-closing metathesis (RCM) by Grubbs catalyst occurs, when the starting material is diene. This reaction is facilitated under high-dilution condition as it favors intramolecular metathesis instead of intermolecular metathesis.
(b)
Interpretation: The synthesis of the substrate in part (b) that uses a Diels–Alder reaction with diethylmaleate as the dienophile is to be devised.
Concept introduction: Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction in which two molecules combine to form a new ring. In this type of reaction, syn addition takes place. It is a reaction between diene with a dienophile to yield a cyclohexene. The dienophile adds to one side of the diene, and diene adds to the one side of the dienophile. Thus, they have syn stereochemistry.

- In the decomposition reaction in solution B → C, only species C absorbs UV radiation, but neither B nor the solvent absorbs. If we call At the absorbance measured at any time, A0 the absorbance at the beginning of the reaction, and A∞ the absorbance at the end of the reaction, which of the expressions is valid? We assume that Beer's law is fulfilled.arrow_forward> You are trying to decide if there is a single reagent you can add that will make the following synthesis possible without any other major side products: 1. ☑ CI 2.
