Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pericyclic reaction involved in the synthesis of karahanaenone shown is to be identified and explained.

Concept introduction:

Sigmatropic rearrangements involve the migration of a σ bond present at the end or in the middle of the system across the π electron system from one position to another. They are represented by [m,n] where m and n represents the number of atoms between the bond being broken and the bond being formed in two directions.

If even number of electron pair is involved then thermal reaction occur through antarafacial pathway and photochemical reactions occur through suprafacial pathway.

If odd number of electron pair is involved then thermal reaction occur through suprafacial pathway and photochemical reactions occur through antarafacial pathway.

2,4-D is a synthetic auxin (a plant hormone) used in the control of broadleaf weeds, and one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. It is produced commercially by the following reaction:   chloroacetic acid + dichlorophenol → hydrochloric acid + 2,4-D C2H3ClO2     +       C6H4Cl2O      →  HCl     +     C8H6Cl2O3     How much chloroacetic acid does it take to manufacture 5.18 grams of 2,4-D?
(a) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when 2methylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr in the presence of peroxides. (b) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when (S)-2,4dimethylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr and peroxides under similar conditions.
One compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?
