Chapter 11: Q 11-11-20-P-c (page 347)

d) Tell whether each of the following reactions is likely to be SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given reaction is an E1cBreaction

Step by step solution

01

E1cB reaction

An E1cBreaction is a type of elimination reaction that requires basic conditions.The leaving group is a relatively poor one, and the hydrogen to be removed is somewhat acidic.

02

Whether the reaction is SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2

d) The given reaction occurs by an E1cB mechanism because the leaving group is present at two carbons away from the carbonyl functional group.

An E1cB reaction

Question: Propose structures for compounds that fit the following descriptions:

(c) An alkyl halide that gives the non-Zaitsev product onreaction

Which compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in an SN2reaction with OH-?

(c)(CH3)3CClorCH3Cl

Question: What stereochemistry do you expect for the alkene obtained by E2 elimination of (1R, 2R)-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane? Draw a Newman projection of the reacting conformation.

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction, an important step in the laboratory synthesis of proteins:

Compound X is optically inactive and has the formulaC16H16Br2. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y,C16H14. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment, Z, is an aldehyde with formulaC7H6O. The other fragment is glyoxal,(CHO)2. Write the reactions involved, and suggest structures for X, Y, and Z. What is the stereochemistry of X?
