(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of the elimination reaction of two stereoisomers of bromodecalin with KOH are to be predicted. The reason corresponding to the large difference in the ease of elimination of both the stereoisomers of bromodecalin is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical reaction that consists of an alkyl halide, a good leaving group which reacts with Lewis base to form an alkene is termed as elimination reaction. In this reaction there is complete removal of the leaving group without any substitution.

The bimolecular elimination reaction that favours the removal of an HX substituent from an alkyl halide that needs a base to remove H from carbon adjacent to the leaving group that in turn forms a double bond is termed E2 elimination reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound that undergoes faster elimination reaction with KOH from the given set of compounds is to be predicted. The major product formed during the elimination reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Alkylation of the following compound with methyl iodide under two different conditions forms two different ketoesters (A and B). Each ketoester forms a cyclic diketone (C and D) when treated with methoxide ion in methanol. a. Draw the structures of A and B, and indicate the conditions used in the alkylation reaction that cause that ketoester to be formed. b. Draw the mechanism for the conversion of A to C.
If the alkyl halide in each of these reactions was an alkyl chloride instead of thebromide,A. the reaction rate would decrease.B. a better leaving group would be involved. C. a polar aprotic solvent would be needed.D. ΔG would be decreased.
