- Explain why free-radical halogenation usually gives mixture of products.arrow_forwardWhat reaction presented in this chapter is occurring in the following equation? Explain the resulting stereochemistry of the reaction.arrow_forwardWrite the steps that are critical in the following reaction in order to explain the stereo-chemical outcome at the carbon marked with the asterisk.arrow_forward
- 13. (18 pts) Spiropentane, shown on the left, reacts with Cl2 in the presence of light to furnish the two products shown on the right. Given that Cl2 is readily cleaved by light, provide a detailed step-by-step mechanism for the formation of the two products from the common intermediate shown in brackets, and also show the mechanism for the formation of the common intermediate from spiropentane. Use curved arrows to detail electron flow. Cl Cl2 Cl Cl hv Cl Clarrow_forwardHeterocyclic compounds plays an important role in our daily life. They are mainly used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products to name a few. 3. It is required to introduce a halogen group to a five membered ring, thiophene. Discuss the reaction mechanism involved in the reaction by selecting a suitable halogen group and analyze why a particular substituted product obtained after the reaction is predominant over the other possible product(s) with the help of reactions.arrow_forwardObserve and identify what's the general reaction scheme and explain it.arrow_forward
- What product is expected from each of the following reactions. Write step by step mechanism for reaction.arrow_forwardPredict the major products of the following reaction. Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds to show the stereochemistry of the products when it's important, for example to distinguish between two different major products...arrow_forward2.
