Interpretation:
The diastereomers structures for 2,3-diphenyl-2 butene are to be written and (E)-(Z) nomenclature has to be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.
The objects or molecules that are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects or molecules and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.
The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and are not superimposable on each other.
They possess different physical as well as chemical properties, because of difference in orientations.
In
In alkenes, if the higher priority group on both the carbon is on the opposite side, configuration is termed as E-configuration.

- Account for the fact that the bicyclic ether (3) is formed from the trans isomer but not from the cis isomer.arrow_forwardTwo products, A and B, are obtained from the reaction of 1-bromobutane with NH3. Compound A reacts with acetyl chloride to form C, and compound B reacts with acetyl chloride to form D. The IR spectra of C and D are shown. Identify A, B, C, and D.arrow_forward1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. 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
- 3-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with sodium methoxide in methanol to form 3-methoxy-2-methylpropene. For each of the following changes in the reaction conditions, state whether the reaction rate would increase, decrease, or remain the same. Explain your reasoning. In some cases the identity of the major organic product would be expected to change; in such cases, give the expected major product. (a) the same quantities of reagents are dissolved in half the volume of methanol (b) 3-bromo-2-methylpropene is used in place of 3-chloro-2-methylpropene (c) sodium methanethiolate (CH3SNa) is used in place of of sodium methoxidearrow_forwardWhich alkene would give a single compound (not a mixture of enantiomers and/or diastereomers) as the major organic product upon reaction with HBr in the presence of peroxide and light?arrow_forwardOptically active (R)-2-bromobutane can be converted to 2-butanol under either conditions A or conditions B. Describe the stereochemistry of the product solutions for the two different conditions.arrow_forward
- (d) Ozonolysis of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexene gives compound D. (i) Write the reaction step for the formation of D by including the appropriate reagents. (ii) The mass spectrum of compound D shows a fragment ion peak at m/z 57. Propose the structure of this fragment ion. (ii) Identify the more stable resonance of the proposed structure in (ii).arrow_forwardShow that the (S,S) enantiomer of this (R,R) diastereomer of 1-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane also undergoes E2 elimination to give the cis diastereomer of the product. (We donot expect these achiral reagents to distinguish between enantiomers.)arrow_forwardAccount for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when this compound is treated with Br2 in H₂O by drawing the final product in the reaction. • Use wedge and hash bonds ONLY when needed to show reaction stereochemistry. • If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.arrow_forward

Then describe in detail the appearance of the reactions and products in this reaction.what would be the visible evidence that a reaction took place? Explain in this paragraph why no color would occur upon mixing cyclohexanol with a solution of bromine.arrow_forward3-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with sodium methoxide in methanol to form 3-methoxy-2-methylpropene. For each of the following changes in the reaction conditions, state whether the reaction rate would increase, decrease, or remain the same. Explain your reasoning. In some cases the identity of the major organic product would be expected to change; in such cases, give the expected major product. (a) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used in place of methanol (b) methanol is used by itself without sodium methoxide (c) 1-chloro-2,2,-dimethylpropane is used in place of 3-chloro-2-methylpropenearrow_forward
