Question

What is the correct order for the reactions that produce the following transformation. a. (1) H2/Lindlar (2) CH3CO2OH b. (1) H2/Lindlar (2) O3, Zn, HCl c. (1) H2/Pd (2) CH3CO2OH d. (1) Na, NH3 (2) CH3CO2OH

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Can you provide a picture? I can outline the reactions though. a) will make a Z double bond from a triple bond and then peroxyacid can do epoxidation. b) will make the Z double bond then ozonolysis to double bond will create to aldehyde compounds. c) is essentially useless unless there is a ketone or aldehyde in the compound already since H2/Pd will fully reduce the alkyne (which I am assuming is present) and so the peroxyacid can't do epoxidation and can only do baeyer villiger oxidation, and d) reduces the alkyne to an E alkene and then do epoxidation to give an epoxide (with trans steroechemistry)
