Question

Starting from (R)-3-methylhex-1-yne as the substrate at the center of your page, draw a reaction map showing the regiochemical and stereochemical outcome or outcomes for each of the following series of reagents. Name each of your products, including stereochemical designations for any chirality centers that are generated.

a. HgSO4, H2SO4, H2O
b. 1. 9-BBN; 2. H2O2, NaOH
c. Br2, CCl4
d. HBr

Answer 1

A substrate is defined as the chemical species that are being observed in the chemical reaction where the substrate reacts with a reagent and forms a product. It can also be referred to the surface where some other chemical reactions are performed.

Stereochemistry is defined as the study of relative spatial arrangement of the atoms which forms the structure of the molecules and their respective manipulations.

In the context, the products including the stereochemical designations for any chirality centers starting from the (R)-3-methylhex-1-yne as the substrate are attached below.
