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?
