Predict the carbenoid addition products of the following reactions.

(a) trans-hex-3-ene+ CH2I2, Zn(Cu)

(b) ciz-hept-2-ene+ CH2I2, Zn(Cu)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Simmons-Smith reaction is a reaction in which the addition of carbenoid (source of carbene) occurs to an alkene or even alkynes to produce or form cyclopropane as the product. It involves using diiodomethane in combination with zinc and copper couple, Zn-Cu. This reaction is stereospecific with respect to the alkene, which means, that if the alkene has alkyl groups in the cis position, then in cyclopropane, the methyl groups will be cis.

Step by step solution

01

Carbenoid addition products in (a)

In the above question, trans-hex-3-ene has both hydrogens trans to each other, and thus in cyclopropane product, both hydrogens will be trans.

02

Carbenoid addition products in (b)

Similarly, in 鈥榖,鈥� both hydrogens are cis to each other in an alkene. Thus, they will be cis to each other in cyclopropane.

Unknown X, C5 H9 Br, does not react with bromine or with dilute KMnO4. Upon treatment with potassium tert-butoxide, X gives only one product, Y, C5 H8. Unlike X, Y decolorizes bromine and changes KMnO4 from purple to brown. Catalytic hydrogenation of Y gives methylcyclobutane. Ozonolysis鈥搑eduction of Y gives dialdehyde Z, C5 H8 O2. Propose consistent structures for X, Y, and Z. Is there any aspect of the structure of X that is still unknown?

The two butenedioic acids are called fumaric acid(trans) and maleic acid(cis). 2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid is called tartaric acid.

  1. Fumaric acid to (卤)-tartaric acid.
  2. Fumaric acid to meso-tartaric acid.
  3. Maleic acid to (卤)-tartaric acid.
  4. Maleic acid to meso-tartaric acid.

The structures of three monomers are shown. In each case, show the structure of the polymer that would result from polymerization of the monomer. Vinyl chloride is polymerized to 鈥樷�檝inyl鈥欌�� plastics and PVC pipe. Tetrafluoroethylene polymerizes to Teflon, used as non-stick coatings and PTFE valves and gaskets. Acrylonitrile is polymerized to Orlon, used in sweaters and carpets.

(a) When HBr adds across the double bond of 1,2-dimethylcyclopentene, the product is a mixture of the cis and trans isomers. Show why this addition is not stereospecific.

(b) When 1,2 dimethylcyclopropene undergoes hydroboration oxidation, one diastereomer of the product predominantes. Show why this addition is stereospecific, and predict the stereochemistry of the major product.

Predict the major products of the following reactions, including the stereochemistry.

  1. Cyclohexene + KMnO4, H2O, cold dilute
  2. Cyclohexene + peroxyacetate acid, in water
  3. cis-pent-2-ene + OsO4,H2O2
  4. cis-pent-2-ene + peroxyacetate acid in water
  5. trans-pent-2-ene + OsO4, H2O2
  6. trans-pent-2-ene + peroxyacetic acid in water
