Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product of the reaction between phenol (C6H5OH) and the given compound is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In organometallic compounds, the metal-carbon bond is ionic. In most cases, the metal ion behaves as a spectator ion, and therefore, the organic part of the compound can be treated as a base or as an anionic nucleophile.

Whether the anion behaves as a base or a nucleophile depends on the whether the substrate contains an acidic proton or an easily approachable electron-poor carbon atom. The size of the anionic species is also a factor.

2. Consider the following intramolecular aldol condensation. This result is fully consistent with the two rules we use to determine the likely product of intramolecular aldol condensation reactions. Rule 1: Only form 5 or 6 membered rings, rule 2: the less- hindered carbonyl group will serve as the electrophile. OH- H₂O product not formed Interestingly, if the same starting material is treated with a secondary amine such as pyrrolidine and some acid, the other product is formed preferentially. Describe the mechanism for what is happening in the presence of amine and acid. (6 points)
Draw the structure of ,-diethyl--propylthiopentane.  With explanation
A. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of nerolidyl pyrophosphate fromfarnesylpyrophosphate B. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of carbocation 1 from nerolidylpyrophosphate. Number the backbone carbons of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from 1 to 11 as shown, andinclude the carbon numbering in your structure of 1 C. Following from B, give an arrow-pushing mechanism to convert 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Use thebackbone carbon numbering from 1 to indicate where carbon atoms ended up in 2 and 3 D. In addition to forming epi-cedrol, carbocation 3 gives three minor byproducts: a diastereomericalcohol and two alkenes. Draw mechanisms that could give rise to these three products
