Question

Question 5 (1.5 pts] Which one of the following statements about the organic products of Reaction #4 is correct? Reaction #4 KMnO4, H,O, NaOH, cold Both OH groups occupy axial positions Both OH groups occupy equatorial positions o One OH group occupies an axial position while the other OH group occupies an equatorial position O None of the above Question 6 (1.5 pts) How many organic products are formed in Reaction #5? Hints The alkenes react sequentially, rather than at the same time Each structural isomer counts as one organic product Each stereoisomer counts as one organic product Reaction #5 excess Hz, Pt

Answer 1

он .OH KMnO4, H20,NaOH KMnO4 gives "syn" diol. that is both OH are on same side, Axial ОН Equatorial Он Он OH Н, H Both OH are "UP" and H are "down" Here One OH is axial and other OH is equatorial There are four possible compunds can be formed by step wise hydrogenation for a double bond both the H are adds from same side нн Н н Н H2, Pt н нн Н нн Н H Н
