Stereochemistry and Isomerism

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on the stereochemistry of a molecule, the physical and chemical properties of the molecules vary.

A student was about to turn in the products he had obtained from the reaction of HI with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene when he realized that the labels had fallen off his flasks and he did not know which label belonged to which flask. His friend reminded him of the rule that says the electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most hydrogens. In other words, he should label the flask containing the most product 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodopropane and label the flask containing the least amount of product 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-iodopropane. Should he follow his friend’s advice?

Phineas and Ferbs, two brothers who enjoy vacations, doing fun things every summer. This summer the brothers and their friends carry out an organic synthesis with an unknown compound (L1) that contains 52% Carbon, 6% Hydrogen and 42% bromine, this compound (L1) is treated with magnesium in ether to obtain L2 , which reacts violently with D2O for 1-methyl cyclohexene with a deuterium atom in the methyl group (L3). The L2 reaction is treated with acetone followed by hydrolysis to give L4. Heating L4 with concentrated sulfuric acid gives L5, which decolors the bromine, obtaining L6. L5 undergoes hydrogenation with excess hydrogen and platinum as a catalyst giving rise to isobutyl cyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds L1 through L6.
