ORGANIC 2 DISCUSSION RESPONSE

1

Your Name: 1. Consider the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction below and complete parts (a)-(b) below.

(a) Draw the major regioisomer (or in other words, constitutional isomer) expected to form. Also, draw appropriate resonance structures to explain why only one constitutional isomer is expected to form. Discuss the interactions between the diene and dienophile that govern this constitutional isomer being the only one expected.

The dienophile is the target and the diene is the attacker in this chemical process It occurs spontaneously when the temperature rises and no dddational catalyst is required The location of the new formed double bond

is

critisal to the Diels Alder process The diene's additional electrons in this reaction enable it to bind with the dineophile consider it as a giver where the diene is and the dienophile as a taker This unique configuration where the diene has a carbonyl group closeby results in the production of asingle kind of product

(b) Redraw the regioisomer from part (a) and show the appropriate stereochemistry using correct dash/wedge notation expected for the major product. Discuss if this is the endo or exo diastereomer and draw a transition-state intermediate to help illustrate why this diastereomer is favored. Also, discuss if you believe this diastereomer is chiral or achiral. If it is chiral, also discuss if you think it will be formed as an equal mixture of two enantiomers (known as racemic). 2. Consider the reaction below and complete parts (a)-(c): (Complete a to c in the next pages)

(a) When the molecule below is treated with HBr at high temperatures, the 1,2-addition product predominates, rather than the 1,4-adduct. Draw this product and explain this result. Use appropriate resonance structures to illustrate.

You will also need to use reactions discussed in previous chapters as well.
