Which of the reactions below would result in a product mixture thatwould rotate plane-polarized light?
a)

Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone), prepared from N-vinylpyrrolidone, is used in cosmetics and as a synthetic substitute for blood. Draw a representative segment of the polymer.

Evidence that cleavage of 1,2-diols by occurs through a five membered cyclic periodate intermediate is based on kinetic data—the measurement of reaction rates. When diols A and B were prepared and the rates of their reaction withwere measured, it was found that diol A cleaved approximately 1 million times faster than diol B. Make molecular models of A and B and of potential cyclic periodate intermediates, and then explain the kinetic results

Question:Predict the products of the following reactions, showing both regiochemistry and stereochemistry where appropriate:
(d)

Question:The cis and trans isomers of 2-butene give different cyclopropane productsin the Simmons–Smith reaction. Show the structures of both, and
explain the difference.
