Chapter 6, Problem 6.13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereochemical configuration of the product of the given reaction is to be assigned.

Concept introduction:

The naming of the chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chiral center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.

5) If the stereochemistry of the starting material of an SN2 reaction is "S", what is the typical stereochemistry of the product going to be? Why?
Draw the alkene structure that produced the following compounds in a ozonolysis reaction as specified. 1. O3 2. (CH3)2S You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Optically active (R)-2-bromobutane can be converted to 2-butanol under either conditions A or conditions B. Describe the stereochemistry of the product solutions for the two different conditions.
