Question: In planning the synthesis of one compound from another, it’s just as important to know what not to do as to know what to do. The following reactions all have serious drawbacks to them. Explain the potential problems of each.

Question: Addition of HCl to 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene yields a mixture of two products. Show the stereochemistry of each, and explain why a mixture is formed.
Question: Plexiglas, a clear plastic used to make many molded articles, is made by polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Draw a representative segment of Plexiglas.

10-Bromo-a-chamigrene, a compound isolated from marine algae, isthought to be biosynthesized from g-bisabolene by the following route:

Draw the structures of the intermediate bromonium and cyclic carbocation,and propose mechanisms for all three steps.
Draw the structure of a hydrocarbon that absorbs 2 molar equivalents of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation and gives only butanedial on ozonolysis.
