Chapter 4, Problem 52(choose chapter or problem)
As indicates, the enzymatic reactions that introduce functional groupsinto the steroid nucleus in nature are highly selective, unlike the laboratory chlorinationdescribed in 51. However, by means of a clever adaptation of this reaction, it isI Cl2 Iodobenzene dichlorideIClClfiChapter 4 167possible to partly mimic natures selectivity in the laboratory. Two such examples are illustratedbelow.(a)O OCl2, hvH3CHH HH%CH3%%K } IO OH3CHCl HH%CH3%%K } I(b)O OCl2, hvH3CHH HH%CH3%%K } IO OH3CHH ClH%CH3%%K } IPropose reasonable explanations for the results of these two reactions. Make a model of theproduct of the addition of Cl2 to each iodocompound (compare 51) to help in analyzingeach system.
