Notes on Review lecture:
-
Here's the mechanism I showed in class. Note that the products specify
an SN2 mechanism, even though there is a tertiary carbon involved.
Step 1:
Step 2:
-
Here's a suggested route to each of the products I showed.
Product 1:
-
convert to alkene (dehydrate)
-
add two OH groups cis (use OsO4 reaction)
-
convert cis OH to cis Br (probably the PBr3 reaction
is best for this)
Product 2:
-
add H2O across the double bond (anti-Markovnikov) using hydroboration
-
convert to bromide
-
add second methyl group using the methyl Grignard (which simultaneously
reduces the carbonyl to OH)
alternatively:
-
add Br by allylic bromination
-
reduce the double bond with H2 and Pd/C catalyst
-
add methyl group as above
