Question

Predict the products with configurations in the following.
(a) `(+)2-"Octanol" + PhSO_2 Cl rarr (A) underset (NaOH) overset (Hot) rarr (B)`
(b) `(+)2-"Octanol" + CH_3COCl rarr (C) underset (NaOH) overset (Hot) rarr (D)`
(c) `CH_3O^**H+ PhSO_2 Cl rarr (E) underset (NaOH) overset (Hot) rarr (F) + (G)`
(d) `CH_3 O^**H + CH_3COCl rarr (H) underset (NaOH) overset (Hot) rarr (I) + (J)`.

Answer 1

(b)
Thus, the configuration at chiral `(C -)` is retained. Therefore. If `PhSO_2 Cl//H_2O, overset (Ө) O H` is used inversion takes place , and if `CH_3COCl//H_2 O` or `overset (Ө) O H` is used, retention takes place.
(c)
