I have these orgo problems for homework and I have no idea where to even begin. We have to find missing reagents and products based on regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Any help or explanations would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer:

Honestly makes no sense sorry :(

Step-by-step explanation:

I can try though.. There are three types of selectivity possible for any synthesis: (i) Chemoselectivity is deciding which group reacts. (ii) Regioselectivity is where the reaction takes place in that group. (iii) Stereoselectivity is how the group reacts with respect to the stereochemistry of the product.

A stereospecific mechanism specifies the stereochemical outcome of a given reactant, whereas a stereoselective reaction selects products from those made available by the same, non-specific mechanism acting on a given reactant. Of stereoisomeric reactants, each behaves in its own specific way.

I tried to explain it the best I could.

Hopefully this helps you :)

Feel free to correct me If it was wrong
