Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The manner of ring closure-conrotatory or disrotatory- for both thermal and photochemical cyclization of (2E,4Z,6Z,8E)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene in to 7,8-dimethyl-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene indicating the stereochemistry 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 predict:

The manner of ring closure-conrotatory or disrotatory- for both thermal and photochemical cyclization of (2E,4Z,6Z,8E)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene in to 7,8-dimethyl-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene.

The stereochemistry of the product.

8. (16 pts) Provide the stepwise mechanism for the synthesis of the following compound via an enamine
Draw the titration curve of (i) weak acid vs. strong base; (ii) weak acid vs. weakbase; (iii) diprotic acid with strong base (iii) triprotic acid with strong base.
Complete the reaction in the drawing area below by adding the major products to the right-hand side. If there won't be any products, because nothing will happen under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area instead. Note: if the products contain one or more pairs of enantiomers, don't worry about drawing each enantiomer with dash and wedge bonds. Just draw one molecule to represent each pair of enantiomers, using line bonds at the chiral center. More... No reaction. my ㄖˋ + 1. Na O Me Click and drag to start drawing a structure. 2. H +
