Reactions at the Alpha Carbon Atom
The position next to the ketone or aldehyde functional group is termed as alpha position and the reaction which occurs at alpha position is called alpha substitution reaction. In an alpha substitution reaction, the alpha proton atom is substituted by an …

Chapter 7, Problem 7.72P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products formed by the given reactions are to be drawn and an explanation for the difference in optically activity is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.

When (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH,nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When theisomeric halide (R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OHunder the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an opticallyactive solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explainwhy the difference in optical activity is observed.
(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.
