Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 65P
(a) Based on the following information, draw three-dimensional formulas for A, B, and C.
Reaction of cyclopentene with bromine in water gives A.
Reaction of A with aqueous NaOH (1 equivalent, cold) gives B, C5H8O (no 3590–3650-cm−1 infrared absorption). (See the squalene cyclization discussion in “The Chemistry of…Cholesterol Biosynthesis” in WileyPLUS for a hint.)
Heating of B in methanol containing a catalytic amount of strong acid gives C, C6H12O2, which does show 3590–3650-cm−1 infrared absorption.
(b) Specify the (R) or (S) configuration of the chirality centers in your predicted structures for C. Would C be formed as a single stereoisomer or as a racemate?
(c) How could you experimentally confirm your predictions about the stereochemistry of C?

glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in
dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F. (If the
stereochemistry at a particular carbon is not determined by the above data, indicate this with a wavy line as
