Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction yielding trans-2-butene and cis-2-butene-2-d is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Elimination reactions are the reactions in which two substituents are removed from a molecule, in a one or two step mechanism.

A base removes hydrogen atom from β carbon, followed by removal of halogen atoms or any good leaving group from α carbon, resulting in the double bond (π) formation.

Compound A, C₂H16 reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen on catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment, to give: O CH3 O || CH3CCH₂CCH₂CCH3 CH3 Compound A Propose a structure for A. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
An alkene having the molecular formula C11H20 is treated sequentially with ozone (O3) and zinc/acetic acid to give the product/s shown. CH;CH2ČCH,CH3 Draw a structural formula for the alkene. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. C opy aste ChemDoodle
(dehydrobromination) A chemist carried out an elimination reaction of 1,1-dimethyl-2- bromocyclopentane. The chemist expected the reaction to yield alkene Z as product. However, alkene Z DID NOT form. Instead, three alkenes were produced: one alkene was the major product, the other two alkenes was the minor products. What was the major alkene product that formed? Br Select one: A. I B. II C. IV D. III alcohol HEAT || Z = + (HBr) IV
