Question
If this reaction was kinetically controlled, use the three structures below to predict the major product, then select the TRUE statements 0 Borenol Isoborneol Camphor a. The major product would be determined by the sterics of the carbonyl of camphor. b. The reducing agent would attack the more hindered face of the carbonyl away from the two methyl groups and form borneol c. The reducing agent would attack the less hindered face of the carbonyl away from the two methyl groups and form isoborneol. d. The major product would be independent of the sterics of the carbonyl of camphor.Explanation / Answer
Kinetically controlled product is the product that pass through more stable transition state. In camphor the reducing agent would attack the less hindered face of carbonyl away from the two methyl group and forms isoborneo. So, option c is the correct one.
