Step by step solution

01

Reduction of sigma bonds with LiAlH4

LiAlH4 is used for the reduction of alkyl halide or epoxide. It donates H- ions which replaces the X- ions in alkyl halide.

The reaction follows SN2 mechanism; hence it completes in a single step only. In epoxides, the H- ion attack on less substituted carbon.

02

Action of  LiAlH4

a. A hydrogen atom substitutes chlorine.


Reduction of alkyl halide

b. Hydrogen is substituted, and the C-O bond is broken.

Reduction of epoxide

Question: It is sometimes necessary to isomerize a cis alkene to a trans alkene in a synthesis, a process that cannot be accomplished in a single step. Using the reactions that you have learned in Chapters 8–12, devise a stepwise method to convert cis-but-2-ene to trans-but-2-ene.

Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.

Question: Devise a synthesis of each compound from CH3CH2OHas the only organic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product must come from a molecule of ethanol. You may use any other needed inorganic reagents.
