Stereochem and regiochem

Question 1

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a hydrohalogenation without peroxides

Answer 1

Stereochemistry is syn for asymmetrical alkenes and regiochem is markovnikov

Question 2

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a acid-catalyzed hydration

Answer 2

markovnikov regiochem while stereochem is irrelevant

Question 3

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a halogenation

Answer 3

Regiochem is irrelevant (same group) while stereochem is anti

Question 4

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a halohydrin formation

Answer 4

OH goes on more substituted carbon while stereochem is anti

Question 5

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a oxymercuration reduction

Answer 5

Regiochem is markvnikov while stereochem is irrelevant

Question 6

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a hydroboration oxidation

Answer 6

Regiochem is anti-markovnikov while stereochem is syn

Question 7

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a dihydroxylation

Answer 7

regiochem is irrelevant while stereochem is syn

Question 8

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a hydrogenation

Answer 8

Regiochem is irrelevant while stereochem is syn when new stereocenters are made

Question 9

What is the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of a hydrohalogenation with peroxides

Answer 9

Br goes on less substituted carbon while stereochem is irrelevant

Question 10

Which reactions can rearrange

Answer 10

Acid-catalyzed hydration and hydrohalogenation without peroxides
