Question
Chapter FRP, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
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.

The reaction of (2S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane with sodium iodide yields two products: (2R)-2-iodo-3-methylpentane and racemic 3-iodo-2-methylpentane. Account for the formation of each of these two products. For each product, you should show how it is formed and what that tells you about the mechanism of that specific reaction.
4-tert-butylcyclohexanol
Account for the fact that the bicyclic ether (3) is formed from the trans isomer but not from the cis isomer.

- Poly and B-Ryan are asked by their supervisor to synthesize (1R,3R)-1-chloro-1,3- dimethylcyclopentane. To accomplish their syntheses, Poly chooses to start from a trisubstituted alkene while B-Ryan chooses to start from a disubstituted alkene isomer. Poly's synthesis provides a mixture of isomers while B-Ryan's provides two stereoisomers. Both synthetic approaches are shown below.
