Question: Devise a synthesis of each compound from the indicated starting material.
Question: Draw the products of each reaction using the two-part strategy from Sample Problem 10.7.
Question: a. Which diastereomer of oct-4-ene yields a mixture of two enantiomers, (4R,5R)- and (4S,5S)-4,5-dibromooctane on reaction with Br2 ?
b. Which diastereomer of oct-4-ene yields a single meso compound, (4R,5S)-4,5-dibromooctane?
Question: Label each carbon-carbon double bond in 11-cis-retinal as E or Z. As we will learn in Section 21.11, the isomerization of one double bond in this compound to a less crowded stereoisomer takes place when light strikes the retina of the eye.

Question: Linolenic acid (Table 10.2) and stearidonic acid are omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids that contain the first double bond located at C3, when numbering begins at the methyl end of the chain. Predict how the melting point of stearidonic acid compares with the melting points of linolenic and stearic acids. A current avenue of research is examining the use of soybean oil enriched in stearidonic acid as a healthier alternative to vegetable oils that contain fewer degrees of unsaturation.
