Read more…that they would like more examples of various reactions, as well as more examples of synthesis and spectroscopy problems. I’m looking for a few exceptional individuals who *love* putting together…
Read more…and Trans and E and Z] . Since free rotation about the double bond is not possible, these are completely distinct molecules. They can be separated, put in different flasks,…
Read more…C and D) results in a new alkene as well as a new ruthenium carbene. The carbene can then combine with a new equivalent of alkene (Step 3, arrows E…
Read more…is to hydrolyze the cyanide ion to the carboxylic acid. Examples: Notes: Examples 1, 2, and 3 are fairly typical Strecker reactions for the formation of various amino acids. Example…
Read more…the alcohol (Step 2, arrows A and B) forming a new C-H bond and leaving behind a free radical. The radical is reduced to another carbanion (Step 3), which is…
Read more…a base). If there’s no good leaving group on the substrate… then no substitution or elimination reaction can happen! It’s that simple. Common examples of good leaving groups are species…
Read more…Example 4 is an Oxy-cope reaction, which forms an enol that then tautomerizes to an aldehyde. The last example shows an Oxy-Cope where a new 10-membered ring is formed. Mechanism:…
Read more…by about 20 kcal/mol, owing mostly to the greater strength of C-O (pi) bonds (80 kcal/mol) versus C-C (pi) bonds (60 kcal/mol). Examples: Notes: In the first two examples, heating…
