Question: The cis and trans isomers of 2,3-dimethyloxirane both react with –OH to give butane-2,3-diol. One stereoisomer gives a single achiral product, and one gives two chiral enantiomers. Which epoxide gives one product and which gives two?

Question: What alkyl halides are formed when each ether is treated with HBr?
a. 
b. 
c. 
Question:Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of alcohols even though no carbocation is formed-that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the bond is broken, forming a more stable carbocation, as shown. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism that shows how is dehydrated with to form a mixture of and the cis and trans isomers of . We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 18.5C.

Question: Answer each question using the ball-and-stick model of compound A.

a. Give the IUPAC name for A, including R,Sdesignations for stereogenic centers.
b. Classify A as a alcohol.
c. Draw a stereoisomer for A and give its IUPAC name.
d. Draw a constitutional isomer that contains an OH group and give its IUPAC name.
e. Draw a constitutional isomer that contains an ether and give its IUPAC name.
f. Draw the products formed (including stereochemistry) when A is
treated with each reagent: [1] NaH; [2] ; [3] , pyridine;
[4] HCl; [5] ,pyridine; [6] TsCl, pyridine.
Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.
