Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formed by [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of the given compound is to be stated. The stereochemistry around all tetrahedral stereogenic centers is to be indicated.

Concept introduction: In the sigmatropic rearrangement, the rearrangement of pi bond and the breaking of sigma bond take place. This results in the generation of new sigma bond in the product. In this type of rearrangement, the number of pi bonds remains constant in the reactant as well as in the product.

Curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reaction. The electrons that take part in the chemical reactions are shown by the curved arrows.

What product is formed by [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of the following compound? Clearly indicate the stereochemistry around all tetrahedral stereogenic centers.
cis-1-Bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane both react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to form 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. Explain why the cis isomer reacts much more rapidly than the trans isomer.
Elimination occurs when (Z)-3-bromohex-3-ene is treated with NaNH2. Under the same conditions, 1-bromocyclohexeneundergoes elimination much more sluggishly. Explain why
