Question
Chapter 28, Problem 28.51AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In 1985, two researchers at the University of California, Riverside, carried out the reaction given in Fig. P28.51.The equilibrium mixture contained compound A (22%), a single stereoisomer of B (47%), and a single stereoisomer of C (31%).The stereochemistry of compounds B and C at the carbon marked with the asterisk (*) is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Sigmatropic reaction can be described as the migration of allylic sigma bond at one end of the π-electron system to the other end of the π-electron system as an uncatalyzed intramolecular reaction. The formation of sigma bond at 3, 3-position of a 1, 5-diene is called as cope rearrangement. Notably, [3, 3] sigmatropic reaction of allyl vinyl ether is termed as Claisen rearrangement.

In a Finkelstein reaction, an alkyl chloride (R-CI) or alkyl bromide (R--Br) is treated with NaI in acetone to produce an
alkyl iodide (R–I). Whereas NaI is soluble in acetone, NaCl and NaBr are not. Use this information to argue whether a
Finkelstein reaction is reversible.
The natural product halomon could theoretically arise from another naturally occurring compound known as myrcene. To accomplish
this, a biochemical process that could deliver the synthetic equivalent of BrCi to all three double bonds would be required. (Chem
Comm. 2014, 50, 13725)
