(b)
Interpretation: The stereochemical pathway for the given cycloaddition
Concept introduction: The Diels-Alder reactions are the chemical reactions in which diene and dienophile participate to form Diels-Alder adduct. The diene compounds should be conjugated. Conjugated compounds contain at least one single bond in between two double bonds.

- Draw an approximate reaction-energy diagram showing the curves for the two possible pathways for ionic addition of HBr to 1-methylcyclohexene. (a) Formation of the major product, 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, and (b) formation of the minor product, 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. Point out how these curves show that 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane should be formed fasterarrow_forwardIdentify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.arrow_forwardConsider the following chemical transformation:The transformation takes place via two sequential pericyclic reactions. Identify the two reactions and give a critical explanation whether the reactions are allowable or not. Explain the stereochemistryarrow_forward
- A student adds NBS to a solution of 1-methylcyclohexene and irradiates the mixture with a sunlamp until all the NBS has reacted. After a careful distillation, the product mixture contains two major products of formula C7H11Br. (a)Rank these three intermediates from most stable to least stable.arrow_forwardIdentify the following pericyclic reaction; explain the course, product distribution and stereochemistry of the reaction. Where the first product is produced 70% and the second product is produced 30%.arrow_forwardClassify each reaction as an electrocyclic reaction, a cycloaddition, or a sigmatropic rearrangement. Label the σ bonds that are broken or formed in each reactionarrow_forward
- Arrange the substituents in order of decreasing priority when determining E/Z stereochemistry of an alkene (i.e., 1 is the highest priority substituent, 4 is the lowest priority substituent). – NHCH3 II - CH v - OCH3 -CH,CI >arrow_forwardIn 4+2 cycloaddition, ENDO stereochemistry is preferred because: endo stereochemistry allows the diene to adopt s-cis conformation. endo stereochemistry results in less steric hindrance. the transition state leading to endo stereochemistry is higher energy. it allows for additional π to π overlap between the diene and the dienophile.arrow_forwardThe 2 +2 cycloaddition of two molecules of (2E) -2- butenedinitrile leads to what product? Describe this process using a reaction scheme and curved arrows, show the product including the stereochemistry of the product.arrow_forward
- Indicate the products of the reaction with their name and stereochemistry: Å CH₂ CH3 C6H5 H₂O, H+arrow_forwardThe bicyclic alkene P can be prepared by thermal electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene Q or by photochemical electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene R. Draw the structures of Q and R, and indicate the stereochemistry of the process by which each reaction occurs.arrow_forwardDraw curved arrows and identify the thermal and photochemical products of the electrocyclic reaction of (2Z,4Z,6E)-octa-2,4,6-triene. Step 2: An electrocyclic reaction will undergo a concerted electron shift to form a cyclic ring. A new sigma bond will be formed between carbons 2 and 7. The product will be neutral. (2ZAZ,6E)-octa-2,4,6-triene Draw the curved arrows to show the mechanism. Select Draw Rings More Erasearrow_forward
