Interpretation:
Whether the cyclization and formation of a bicyclic product when (1Z,3Z,5Z)- 1,3,5-cyclononatriene is heated at 100ºC takes place in conrotatory or disrotatory manner is to be identified. Further the stereochemical relationship of the two hydrogens at the ring junction, cis or trans is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrocyclic reaction involves the cyclization of a conjugated acyclic system. These reactions are reversible and are highly stereospecific.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving even number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in conrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in disrotatory manner.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving odd number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in disrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in conrotatory manner.
To identify:
Whether the cyclization and formation of a bicyclic product when (1Z,3Z,5Z)- 1,3,5-cyclononatriene is heated at 100ºC takes place in conrotatory or disrotatory manner.
To state:
The stereochemical relationship of the two hydrogens at the ring junction, cis or trans.

- Consider the reaction between (1S,3S)‑1‑chloro‑3‑methylcyclopentane and methanethiol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. (a) Draw the organic product and clearly indicate stereochemistry by showing the hydrogen on the chirality centers and using wedge and dash bonds. (b) Then analyze the stereochemistry of the product. racemic chiral achiral (1R, 3S) (1R, 3R) (1S, 3S)arrow_forwardI have a trans-3-chloro-1-methylcyclopentane. I react it with ethanol with heat. Knowing heat favors elimination, I suspect 3-methyl-cyclopentene as a product. Will I also get the substitution product 3-methoxy-1-methylcyclopentane, a pair of enantiomers and a pair of diastereomers?arrow_forwardTreatment of the following stereoisomer of 1-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane with sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives a single stereoisomer of 1,2-diphenylpropene.

- trans-Cyclooctene has been resolved, and its enantiomers are stable at room temperature. trans-Cyclononene has also been resolved, but it racemizes with a half-life of 4 min at 0°C. How can racemization of this cycloalkene take place without breaking any bonds? Why does trans-cyclononene racemize under these conditions but trans-cyclooctene does not? You will find it especially helpful to examine the molecular models of these cycloalkenes.arrow_forwardEthers can be prepared by reaction of an alkoxide or phenoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide.
