Interpretation:
The product of the reaction for given two reactants should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a sigmatropic reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
Sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits. For example a [1, 3] sigma tropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3.
Woodward –Hoffmann rules are the set of rules used to vindicate or predict certain aspects of the stereo chemical outcome and activation energy of pericyclic reactions.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are listed below
Migration of carbon and hydrogen will occur in a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction. Migration of hydrogen in suprafacial and antarafacial rearrangement can be represented as follows,
Carbon migrating with one lobe of its p orbital interacting
Carbon migrating with both lobe of its p orbital interacting

- 3. Both El and E2 reactions are possible with 3° alkyl halides. Which elimination mechanism would be favored by the base NaOH? Show the curved arrow mechanism leading to both regioisomers. Draw the energy diagram for this reaction and include the transition state structure leading to each of the possible products. Indicate which one would be favored and use the energy diagram to explain your reasoning. How would you favor the other regioisomer? Br z odd NaOHarrow_forwardFor each section, circle the mechanism from the two options given (E1 or E2) and draw the main organic product resulting from that mechanism. Indicate the stereochemistry and if two configurational isomers form, draw both.arrow_forwardDraw the major product of the following sequence of reactions. If the reaction is likely to give you a mixture of ortho and para disubstituted compounds you should assume that they can be separated; continue the synthesis with either one. If so, draw the intermediates as well. CH3 K₂Cr₂07 Cl₂, AlCl3 H2SO4arrow_forward
- 3. For each reaction, determine all reasonable products that would form. • Underneath each product label if the product is from an Sn1, Sn2, E1, or E2 reaction. In reactions that give both elimination and substitution products, determine whether there will be more elimination or substitution. Br • • For any E1 or Sn1, show any reasonable products of rearrangements. Circle the major product in each reaction If more than one elimination product is formed for a reaction, place a box around the one that is the major elimination product.
