Please write answers on separate paper and ensure that your name is on anything you turn in for grading. Locate the most acidic proton in each compound, and estimate its pK a to within 3 units. Because of copyright restrictions, this figure cannot be displayed here. The degree of stereochemical integrity seen in the product is noted below, expressed as percent inversion.
Negative values represent net retention.
Explain the basis for your expectation. Explain either how it fits, or specifically how it diverges. C. Explain what changes in this system when one alters the solvent. Be specific about why the degree of stereochemical inversion varies, and why partial net retention is seen in trifluoroethanol. Diazo compound 4 undergoes a photolytic reaction shown below.
