Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The stereogenic center at
Concept introduction: The stereochemistry of the compound is determined by prioritizing the groups attached to its stereogenic center. The groups are prioritized on the basis of
(b)
Interpretation: The two isomeric products formed on reaction of A with
Concept introduction: Zincborohydride is a metal hydride reagent. It is a mild reducing agent which reduces
(c)
Interpretation: The reagent used to convert the A to the single stereoisomer X is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chiral oxazaborolidine catalysts are enantiomeric selective reducing reagent. The carbonyl group of ketones are reduced to form one stereoisomer in the enantiomeric excess.
