Considering the following reactions,you conclude that the stereochemistry of reactions #1 and #2 is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stereochemistry of a reaction is determined by the relative positions of the substituents on the reactants and the products. In reaction #1, the two substituents on the reactants are on opposite sides (anti) of the double bond, while in the product they are also on opposite sides (anti). Therefore, the stereochemistry of reaction #1 is anti. In reaction #2, the two substituents on the reactants are on the same side (syn) of the double bond, while in the product they are on opposite sides (anti). Therefore, the stereochemistry of reaction #2 is anti. So, the best choice is C which states that the stereochemistry of reactions #1 and #2 is anti and anti, respectively.
