MW CH402 questions and answers from 2010 paper:
1.
Answer ALL parts.

to the chiral centre would be created. Specific mechanisms and reagents are not
required.

Looking for; (i) protonation of an enolate, (ii) alkylation of an enolate
with BnBr, (iii) ring opening cyclohexene oxide with BnMgBr then oxidation
or (iv) any other suitable method. One mark each.

In this case a similar intermediate forms as in (ii) however the CH2Ph group is further from
the centre to which the Ph- adds hence it exerts less control. 2 marks.

(iii)
Explain how the catalyst thus achieves a selective hydrogenation of 14.
The diastereoisomers are of different energies (1 mark) and therefore of
different relative abundances (1 mark) and different reactivities (1 mark).
The hydrogen gas first goes onto the Rh and is transferred preferentially to
the proximal face of the alkene in the more reactive (but less abundant)
complex (1 mark) which is presumably the left hand one above.
