Provide a mechanistic explanation for the following observation: when an enantiopure sample of this chiral starting material reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the product is formed as a single enantiomer of a compound with the molecular formula C,H17NO. Which of the compounds A-D is the major product of this reaction? NaOH OH OH H,0 но. но. A B Provide a mechanistic explanation for your prediction, including discussion of the likely reaction intermediate. You may wish to use these alternative representations of the starting material to guide you and inform your explanation. NEt, Et,N H. CH3 H H. You are not expected to draw chemical structures or reaction mechanisms to answer this question. Answer using words in the text field below. Extend your answer to Question 1 to predict which of the compounds A-D above would be the major product when this enantiomeric starting material is subjected to the same reaction conditions (NaOH/H2O). You are not expected to draw chemical structures or reaction mechanisms to answer this question. Answer using words in the text field below.
