Question

2. a) Demonstrate the reaction of 3,5-dimethylcyclopentene with oxone and acetone. A detailed mechanism is not necessary but show the starting material, reagents and product. Oxone, acetone b) Draw the reactive intermediate the forms and reacts in situ during this reaction? c) If you started with 1.60 g of the cyclopentene determine the theoretical yield of the product. 1 Imol Cyclopentene Imol epoxy_ 10.159 epoxy opentene (16.17gCyclopentene i mol cyclopentene) imal e pokopy) = 1.83258813 ~ 1.83g epoxy Calculation based on 3,5-dimethylocopentene as stated in part A

just need help with part b

Answer 1

- ( To Complete reaction or 3,5-dihethleyclopentene with oxone and acetone an active oxidizing agent named as dimethyldioxirane Couro) is prepared DMDO is Prepared by reaction of acetone with oxone in aqueous basic solution. oxone с (А - acetone. वरपर०५ basic solution DMDO

Mechanism for reaction of 3,5-dimethylcyclopentene with oxone and acetone is as follows: Reactive intermediate or transition State is shown Concerted above mechanisan mechanism.
