Chapter 6.6, Problem 6.17E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The starting material of each of the two examples in the textbook should be replaced with one of its diastereomers and the product of SN2 displacement with the nucleophile shown should be written.

Concept Introduction:

Diastereomers are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of one another. Stereoisomers with two or more stereocenters can be diastereomers.

SN2 reactions are a type of nucleophilic substitution reactions. In SN2reactions, the addition of the nucleophile and the departure of the leaving group occur simultaneously. So, the nucleophile attacks the molecule from the opposite side of the leaving group. As a result, the geometry of the molecule changes and the stereochemical configuration of the molecule is inverted.

Q5: Label each chiral carbon in the following molecules as R or S. Make sure the stereocenter to which each of your R/S assignments belong is perfectly clear to the grader. (8pts) R OCH 3 CI H S 2pts for each R/S HO R H !!! I OH CI HN CI R H
Calculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structure
A. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?
