Since that is a more stable conf ormation than theconformation shown f or Compound B, the molecule would spend more time in thatconformation and E2 would occur more rapidly.diastereomersHH3C CH3CH3OCH2CH3OCH2CH3H3C CH3CH3H+KEYName _______________________Page 3III. (34 points)Metolachlor is a potent herbacide used to control a variety of weeds. An almost 10-year-old study(Tetrahedron, 1997, 53, 10513) has shown that, under certain conditions, this compound undergoes anintramolecular SN2 reaction that produces a compound with a very good positive-oxygen leaving group(Compound J). One of the things observed in some intramolecular SN2 reactions is that typically pooroxygen nucleophiles, such as ethers, can participate in these reactions. Surprisingly, Compound J canparticipate in a second SN2 reaction with water.Compound JNClOOmetolachlorN OOarrows f or intramolecular SN2Structure of Compound J andarrows f or intermolecular SN2Complete the reaction, including curved arrow mechanisms f or each step and the structures ofCompounds J and K.HO Hother or ganic p r oduct+Compound KA.B.HCl3,3-dimethyl-1-butene2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane+i) Fill in the following boxes with the structures or names indicated.ii) In the space below, provide the complete, step-wise, curved arrow mechanism for the transformation of3,3-dimethylbutene to 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane.CH3CH3CH3CCHCH3Cl+ enantiomerName the above molecule2644648N OOCH3CH3OHCH3CH3CH3CCHCHH(S)-2-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutaneClCH3CH3CCHCH3CH3ClCH3CH3CCHCH3CH3CH3CH3CH3CCHCHHHClCH3CH3CH3CCHCHHHClCH3CH3CCHCH3CH3KEYH2OWhen Compound A is treated with water in the presence of an acid catalyst, two unchargedstereoisomeric products result.
