The following Walden cycle has been carried out. Explain the results, and indicate where Walden inversion occurs.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Inversion takes place in step 4.step4

Walden Inversion

Step by step solution

01

Walden inversion

It occurs in the reactions where the inversion of stereogenic carbon occurs.

02

Each step of the series to find inversion

  1. In step 1, when alcohol reacts with the potassium metal potassium alkoxide. Hence, no CO bond broken means no inversion occurs
  2. In step 2, the potassium alkoxide reacts with the alkyl halide to form ether

Then again, no CO bond break. The alkyl group replaces only potassium means no inversion occurs.

03

Each step of the series to find inversion

3. In step3, alcohol reacts with tosyl chloride, the OH bond is broken, and Ts replace h. Hence, no CO on break means no inversion occurs

4. In step4 鈥搕he OTs group is displaced, and then the CO bond is broken, and ether formation occurs. Hence, the inversion occurs.

Which isomer would you expect to undergo E2 elimination faster, trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane or cis-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane? Draw each molecule in its more stable chair conformation, and explain your answer.

(S)-2-Butanol slowly racemizes on standing in dilute sulfuric acid. Explain.

Amines are converted into alkenes by a two-step process called Hofmann elimination. SN2 reaction of the amine with an excess of CH3I in the first step yields an intermediate that undergoes E2reaction when treated with silver oxide as base. Pentylamine, for example, yields 1-pentene. Propose a structure for the intermediate, and explain why it readily undergoes elimination.
