1. Syn and Anti a. Define the words "syn" and "anti" as conformation labels, using a Newman projection for each. b. In the context of addition reactions with alkene starting materials, the labels "syn" and "anti" describe the configuration of the product relative to the configuration of the starting material. Explain why the distinction between conformation (above) and configuration is important. c. Would an E2 reaction be classified as "syn elimination" or "anti elimination"? d. Draw the alkene starting material that corresponds to "syn" or "anti" description for each generic addition reaction below. (Study tip: use the space under each arrow to draw a "syn" or "anti" conformation of the product) + YZ + YZ + YZ + YZ "syn addition" "syn addition" "anti addition" "anti addition" C + YZ + YZ + YZ + YZ "syn addition" "syn addition" "anti addition" "anti addition"
