Mechanism of a reaction

The reaction is occurring between a phosphate ester (mono- and di-esters, see the attachments) and Zn++. The reaction product is a phosphated, mixed oleate/stearate; a mixed zinc salt. I need to know where cleavage/attack/substitution is occurring on the phosphate ester. I need a diagram that shows the possible mechanism ...continues

2-methyl 1-pentene

consider the bromination of the compound 2-methyl 1-pentene in the attached file. 1. write the basic structure of the product of the bromination of 2-methyl 1-pentene, without regard to stereochemistry. 2. Does the product have any chiral carbons? If so, identify them with an circle. 3. How many stereoisomers are for ...continues

structures

hydroboration of 1-methylcyclopentene leads to trans-2-methylcyclopentanol; see attached file. 1. explain from the orientation of the reagents why only the trans-isomer is formed. 2. in actuality, two different trans-2-methylcyclopentanols are formed in equal amounts. draw the structures of these two trans-2-methylcyclop ...continues

Chlorotrimethylsilane reacts with enolate anions...

1.) Chlorotrimethylsilane reacts with enolate anions to form stable ethers. For example (see reaction attached) Assuming that the reaction is run under equilibrium conditions predict which of the silyl enol ethers below is formed in the largest amount and why? 2.) There are two reasons why the enols of beta-dicarbonyl compo ...continues

organic products

I need some starter advise for this assignment: "Draw the structure of the major organic product of each of the following four reactions (one in the first file, two in the second file). Indicate stereochemistry if appropriate." I don't need the assignment done, I just need a push in the right direction ... Thanks!

Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry structural problem with for Methyl Ketone: In organic chemistry, there is a ketone structure that has the carbon bonded twice with the oxygen(C=O)with two components on the side...the question is how or where do I attach the methyl(CH3) on to this Ketone structure?
