Final Exam /415 ( CHEM 6352 Fall 2011 %) _______________________________Name Dec. 15 th , 2011 8:00-12:00 You may NOT use any references or aids to complete the following with the exception of a chemical model set and the scrap paper that I provide at the end of the test. Note that showing proper stereochemistry and the rational for that stereochemistry will be graded. ALWAYS show a rationale for new stereochemistry (including substituted olefins) if a reaction would be selective. Also note that chiral structures with designated stereochemistry (i.e. hashes and wedges) are assumed to be enantiopure unless a racemic mixture is explicitly stated. You may use existing structures in the problems for your rational if appropriate. <<BONUS items are optional but worth additional points.>> (25 bonus points) Note that the following compounds can be used for any problem on the test. All other reagents you use may incorporate in the reaction product only 4 carbons or less in a given reaction.

You may NOT use any references or aids to complete the following with the exception of a chemical model set and the scrap paper that I provide at the end of the test. Note that showing proper stereochemistry and the rational for that stereochemistry will be graded. ALWAYS show a rationale for new stereochemistry (including substituted olefins) if a reaction would be selective. Also note that chiral structures with designated stereochemistry (i.e. hashes and wedges) are assumed to be enantiopure unless a racemic mixture is explicitly stated. You may use existing structures in the problems for your rational if appropriate. <<BONUS items are optional but worth additional points.>> (25 bonus points) Note that the following compounds can be used for any problem on the test. All other reagents you use may incorporate in the reaction product only 4 carbons or less in a given reaction.
