Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The possible products containing only one bromine has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Free radical stability: As the number of carbon substituents increases, the stability of the free radical increases.
Selectivity determining step: The selectivity determining step is the breakage of the
b)
Interpretation:
The possible products containing two bromines that are not on the same carbon has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Free radical stability: As the number of carbon substituents increases, the stability of the free radical increases.

- Balance the chemical equation for the oxidation of α-linolenic acid to ATP, CO2, and water. (Use the lowest possible ratio of reactants and products.) +arrow_forward(a) (S)-2-chlorobutane, draw a three-dimensional representation.arrow_forwardIsobutylene, CH2=C(CH3)2, is used to prepare cold-flow rubber. Draw a structure for the addition polymer formed from this alkene.arrow_forward
- Hydrocarbons with 5 carbons (pentane) and 19 carbons (nonadecane) are liquids at room temperature. The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane", "nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for larger hydrocarbons. Question: how many carbon dioxide molecules are formed from combustion of one molecule of decane? Methane CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H2O Propane C3H3 +502 – → 3CO2+4H2O C10 H22 + 15.502 10CO2 + 11H20 Decane -arrow_forwardSorbitol is a sweetener often substituted for cane sugar, because it is better tolerated by diabetics. It is also an intermediate in the commercial synthesis of vitamin C. Sorbitol is prepared by high-pressure hydrogenation of glucose over a nickel catalyst. What is the structure (including stereochemistry) of sorbitol?arrow_forwardDehalogenase enzymes catalyze the clevage of C-X bonds. One such dehalogenase catalyzes the following reaction. An active site aspartate is thought to carry out the initial nucleophilic attack that expels the chloride. Select the most likely intermediate in the reaction. (Note the stereochemistry.

- Consider these compounds: A. PbBr, B. MnS C. Ag,CO3 D. AIPO, Complete the following statements by entering the letter(s) corresponding to the correct compound(s). (If more than one compound fits the description, include all the relevant compounds by writing your answer as a string of characters without punctuation, e.g, ABC.) Without doing any calculations it is possible to determine that magnesium fluoride is more soluble than and magnesium fluoride is less soluble than| It is not possible to determine whether magnesium fluoride is more or less soluble than by simply comparing Kgp values.arrow_forwardCompound A has two functional groups and it will formed an oily yellow liquid when it reacts with nitrous acid. They discovered that compound B is produced during the halogenation process of compound A. When compound B is reacted with nitric acid, compound C is formed. While Friedel Crafts alkylation of compoundAproduces compoundD. CompoundE was produced by Friedel Crafts acylation of compound A. This compound E reacts positively with alkaline iodine and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. However, it returns negative results for Tollens' and Benedict's tests. (a) Illutsrate the potential carbon-13 NMR spectrum for compound A. (b) Identify the possible structural formula of compound A (according to the carbon type) based on your proposed 13C NMR spectrum. (c) Predict the possible structural formula compounds B to E. The carbon atoms for compound A should more than SIX (6). (d) Distinguish between compound A with benzenedizonium chloride.

How are the compounds in each pair related (enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers): A and B; A and C; B and C; C and D?arrow_forwardCarvone exists as a pair of enantiomers. (R)-(-)-carvone smells like spearment, whereas (S)-(+)-carvone smells like caraway. Why do these enantiomers have different smells (i.e., different biological activity) ?arrow_forwardName the following compound and indicate whether or not is a reducing sugar:arrow_forward
