anyone to help?
this is the ques.
The carbene is telling you the formation of an intermediate, meaning a two-step reaction, which suggests that you have a.....reaction [HINT: focus on the solvent and attacking group!]
m-CBPA, I think it forms an epoxide from your product, L on the double bond.
The dil. acid is strong, so it protinates the epoxide, opens the ring, two alcohols.
I'm using a tablet, my comp crashed so I can't show you by drawing, sorry.
thnx!
Good luck. If you need more help just ask :) Cheers!
Pardon me. there is no Beta hydrogen in order to do elimination. so there would be no double bond to form a epoxide!
you are saying right. there is no beta hydrogen. i think, a rearrangement will occur there.
solved this question.. thanx @abb0t for help !
Hmm.......I've never seen nCBPA But thanks for that ardalan!! :)
