Interpretation
The structure for the derivative of divinylcyclopropane including its stereochemistry is to be deduced.
Concept introduction:
>Reactions of dienes that proceed in a single step by way of cyclic transition state are called pericyclic reactions.
>Compounds having
Cope rearrangement is a type of pericyclic reaction in which one
The reactant molecule must have two isolated double bonds at
The reaction must pass through a cyclic transition state to produce two cis double bonds in the ring.
>The product of the Cope rearrangement has double bonds at

- In an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?arrow_forwardWhat steps are needed to convert benzene into p-isobutylacetophenone, a synthetic intermediate used in the synthesis of the anti-infl ammatory agent ibuprofen.arrow_forwardWhat steps are needed to convert benzene into p-isobutylacetophenone, a synthetic intermediate used in the synthesis of the anti-inammatory agent ibuprofen.arrow_forward
