Chapter 27.SE, Problem 37AP
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 27.SE, Problem 37AP , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

The product formed when the diol shown reacts with one equivalent of acetic anhydride is to be given.

Concept introduction:

If the two cyclohexane rings are fused in trans manner the two hydrogens at the ring junction will be diaxial. If the ring fusion is cis, then one hydrogen at the ring junction is axial while that in the other junction is equatorial.

Among the disubstituted cyclohexanes, 1,2- cis, 1,3- trans and 1,4-cis substituents will have axial and equatorial arrangements. 1,2-trans, 1,3-cis and 1,4-trans substituents will have either diequatorial or diaxial arrangements.

Equatorial –OH gets easily acetylated because it is free from steric strains.

To give:

The product formed when the diol shown reacts with one equivalent of acetic anhydride.

Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. ROH, H+ OH OR Aldehyde/ketone Alcohol ROH, H+ Draw the structural formulas for the hemiacetal and the acetal formed between the following compounds: OH OH OR OR • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. + H₂O
