Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three sequential pericyclic reactions involved in synthesizing coronafacic acid are to be identified. A mechanism for the overall transformation is to be proposed. How the synthesis can be completed is also to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

In electrocyclic reactions cyclic alkenes or dienes react to yield acyclic conjugated dienes as poducts. A σ bond is broken, a new π bond is formed and some π bonds change their positions. The reactions are reversible.

In cycloaddition reactions two unsaturated molecules add to one another to yield a cyclic product.

In basic solutions the conjugated enones tautomerize and exist as tautomers. Aldehydes when treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate (Tollens reagent) get oxidized to carboxylic acids.

Draw the Michael adduct and final product of the Robinson annulation reaction. Ignore inorganic byproducts
Post Lab Questions. 1) Draw the mechanism of your Diels-Alder cycloaddition. 2) Only one isomer of product is formed in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Why? 3) Imagine that you used isoprene as diene - in that case you don't have to worry about assigning endo vs exo. Draw the "endo" and "exo" products of the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and maleic anhydride, and explain why the distinction is irrelevant here. 4) This does not hold for other dienes. Draw the exo and endo products of the reaction of cyclohexadiene with maleic anhydride. Make sure you label your answers properly as endo or exo. 100 °C Xylenes ??? 5) Calculate the process mass intensity for your specific reaction (make sure to use your actual amounts of reagent).
Indicate the product(s) A, B C and D that are formed in the reaction: H + NH-NH-CH [A+B] [C+D] hydrazones
