Hex-1-ene undergoes ionization and fragmentation to expel a propyl radical, as shown below. The curved arrows for the fragmentation step are to be added. Concept introduction: An alkenes ’ molecular ion tends to expel an alkyl radical from an allylic carbon producing a resonance stabilized allylic carbon. The driving force for this process is the stability that is gained by the resonance delocalization of the positive charge in the resulting allylic cation.

Calculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structure

A. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?

Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?
