Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The major stereoisomer formed when the given
Concept introduction: In an elimination reaction, the major stereoisomer formed in the one which is most stable. In general, trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer as the substituents are attached far apart from each other causing less steric hindrance.

[1] HC=C−; [2] H2Oarrow_forwardMany insects utilize cyclic ketal structures as pheromones such as the structure shown below. The biosynthetic pathway involves the cyclization of this acetal from the straight chain structure. Draw the straight chain structure that could be used to form this acetal. Use wedges and dashes to correctly depict the stereochemistry. H3C- >arrow_forward
- Draw the product of the reaction between a ketone and an alcohol. Include all hydrogen atoms in the product. How would you classify the product of the reaction? Note that a hemiacetal formed from a ketone is also called a hemiketal; an acetal formed from a ketone is also called a ketal. The product is an alcohol. The product is a ketal The product is a ketone. The product is a hemiketal.arrow_forwardDraw the alkene that can form the alcohol shown via an acid-catalyzed hydration reaction that does NOT require a rearrangement. Draw the starting alkene.
