Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same atoms but are arranged differently, that is, the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.
Enantiomers are the stereoisomers having non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Enantiomers have same physical and chemical properties.
A meso compound is a molecule that has a mirror image, and also has a plane of symmetry.
E2 elimination reaction is one of the elimination processes which proceeds via one step mechanism, resulting in two products, also called bimolecular reaction. The order of the reaction is 2 and the rate depends on both the substrate and the base. In E2 elimination reaction an

Draw the reactants, the transition state, andthe products. Note that the initial product is the salt of an amine (RNH3+ Br - ), which is deprotonated by the excess ammonia to give the amine.arrow_forwardAddition of HCI to the unsymmetrical alkene below could potentially give rise to two products.

(c) Draw the structure of the major final product.arrow_forward
- The major product of the following reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers: show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry (you don’t need to draw wedge and dash bonds for C-H bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups). Assign stereo configuration of the asymmetric carbon atoms and write the relationship between two isomers.arrow_forwardThe 2 +2 cycloaddition of two molecules of (2E) -2- butenedinitrile leads to what product?

(ii) Briefly explain why this unexpected major product C predominated in your reaction. Question 1 Continued (iii) 1,2-elimination of HBr from product C yields a mixture of two alkenes. Draw the structures of the two alkene products and briefly explain using Zaitsev's rule which alkene is the major one.arrow_forwardCompound W, C8H₁7Br, and X, CgH₁7Cl, are products of the radical bromination (W), and chlorination (X), of 2,4-dimethylhexane. W and X are each chiral. W reacts readily in water to form a chiral substitution product Y, CgH17OH. Reaction of a single enantiomer of W produces a single enantiomer of Y as the only substitution product. X likewise reacts readily in water though at a slower rate than W; a chiral substitution product Z, C8H₁7OH, is again formed. Unlike w, however, reaction of a single enantiomer of X produces Z that is nearly racemic. Propose structures for W and X. 0 • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. • Draw one structure per sketcher.

During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forward
