CHM 252 pset 1 For the two epoxides shown below, compare the stereochemistry of the resulting compounds when the ring is opened in the presence of acid versus in the presence of base. (You may give representative examples and explain/highlight the similarities and differences; you do not necessarily need to draw every possible structure.) Suppose you perform a synthesis of an amine and wish to separate it from the remaining organic and inorganic materials in your reaction flask. Briefly describe the steps necessary to achieve this. Alcohols may be synthesized via many different routes, including (but not limited to reduction of aldehydes/ketones, nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, and epoxide opening. For each alcohol shown below, indicate with route(s) would yield the desired product, and which starting material you would need for each process. You do not need to show full mechanisms, and you may assume that the starting materials are readily available as drawn.
