Identify the reagents necessary to achieve each of the following transformations: Br Br OH OH OH Br Br Br OH OH
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
This question is designed to show the versatility of alkenes. They can be transformed into a wide array of functional groups. We’re given a terminal (geminal) alkene as the starting material, and we’re asked to identify reagents that could achieve a large number of various transformations. Every reaction should be familiar to you; if not, you should go back and review the appropriate sections of the text. An organic chemist needs ready access to a vast “toolbox” of organic reaction methods in order to be successful.
