Passage-based questions and
answers
Palladium complexes and palladium catalysis reactions are
important tools in the synthesis of other organic molecules. The
importance of these reactions is highlighted by the citation for the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010, which was awarded "for palladium-
catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis."
Palladium catalysis continues to be studied to further the current
understanding of the mechanism and seek new applications for its
usage. Beta-hydrogen elimination appears to play a key role in
reactions of palladium catalysis. The eliminated hydrogen atom
usually falls into one of two categories, depending on the molecular
hybridization of the carbon atom it is attached to.
The most common carbon hybridization of such an atom is sp
3
. Both
alkyl and alkenyl palladium complexes in this pathway undergo a
mechanism to create olefins and allenes. Of lesser abundance in this
context is sp
2
-hybridized carbon atoms. The products resulting from
this scheme are poorly investigated. These two modes of elimination
are shown in Figure 1.
FIGURE 1: ALKENE SYNTHESIS BASED ON BETA-HYDROGEN ELIMINATION FROM SP3- AND SP2-HYBRIDIZED CARBONS.
Researchers seek to generate allenes from the second mode of
palladium catalysis, involving sp
2
-hybridized carbon atoms. To do so,
a pathway in which a desired δ-allylic palladium intermediate is
generated from oxidative addition/isomerization of classic allylic
alcohol derivatives of palladium. The proposed reaction is shown in
Figure 2.

Question 4: Which of the following functional groups listed
below are considered to be good electrophiles?
A) Aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, amines
B) Aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid
C) Aldehyde, alcohols
D) Hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, ketone
Answer key for passage-based questions
1.
Answer choice C is correct.
The passage discusses elimination
reactions. Elimination reactions include E1 and E2 reactions. Sn1
and Sn2 reactions are examples of nucleophilic attack mechanisms
(choice B is incorrect). There is insufficient evidence to deduce
which form of elimination reaction occurs (choice C is correct).
2.
Answer choice B is correct.
A good leaving group is a
functional group that can dissociate from a molecule and acts as an
ion. These species usually have high electronegativity. Bromine is a
leaving group, as it is a halogen with relatively high
electronegativity (choice B is correct). None of the other molecules
contain leaving groups that would be particularly stable.
3.
Answer choice D is correct.
An E2 reaction occurs in a one-
step mechanism. For the one-step mechanism to occur, there must
be a hydrogen anti, or opposite to, the leaving group. Otherwise, the
reaction is unable to proceed (choice D is correct).
4.
Answer choice B is correct.
In general, carbonyl functional
groups are electrophilic. Of the answer choices listed, ketones,
aldehydes, and carboxylic acids all have carbon atoms within
carbonyls that can serve as electrophiles (choice B is correct).
Amines and hydroxyl groups generally serve as nucleophiles (choice
D is incorrect). Alcohols may exhibit either nucleophilic or
electrophilic behavior (choice C is incorrect).
Part 6: Standalone questions and
answers
Question 1: Which of the following statements best
describes the primary difference between a nucleophile and
an electrophile?
A) A nucleophile has a higher electron density, attracting more
electrons; an electrophile has a lower electron density, donating
electrons to create a bond
B) A nucleophile has a lower electron density, attracting more
electrons; an electrophile has a higher electron density,
donating electrons to create a bond
C) An electrophile has a higher electron density, attracting more
electrons; a nucleophile has a lower electron density, donating
electrons to create a bond
D) An electrophile has a lower electron density, attracting more
electrons; a nucleophile has a higher electron density, donating
electrons to create a bond
Question 2: Which of the following molecules is most likely
to serve as either an electrophile or a nucleophile?

configuration of products resulting from the following
reaction?

the following molecules could successfully undergo an
elimination reaction?

accurately compares single- and double-headed curved
arrow mechanisms?
A) Both mechanisms show the movement of electrons but differ
in the speed of reaction
B) Both mechanisms show the movement of energy
C) A single arrow signifies two electrons moving together, while
a double arrow indicates two electrons moving separately

D) A single arrow mechanism involves the movement of one
electron, while a double arrow mechanism involves the
movement of a pair of electrons
Answer key for standalone questions
1.
Answer choice D is correct.
A nucleophile is an atom or
molecule that has a high electron density with the potential to
attack an electrophile to create a bond. An electrophile is an atom or
molecule that has low electron density and readily accepts electrons
to create a bond (choice D is correct).
2.
Answer choice C is correct.
Recall that an electrophile is a
functional group with low electron density, and a nucleophile is a
functional group with high electron density. Thus, the molecule of
interest must contain both an electron-rich atom and an electron-
poor atom. While alcohol functional groups can serve as either
electrophiles or nucleophiles, their exact role is highly dependent on
the pH of the environment (choice A is incorrect). Carbonyls are
generally electrophilic (choices B and D are incorrect). In the case of
a molecule containing a carboxylic acid, the hydroxyl oxygen can be
nucleophilic while the carbonyl carbon is electrophilic (choice C is
correct).
3.
Answer choice A is correct.
This mechanism depicts a
nucleophilic addition reaction; thus, it is either an Sn1 or Sn2
reaction. The presence of a carbocation intermediate tips us off that
the reaction is Sn1. Sn1 reactions create racemic products, or a
mixture of both R- and S-molecules (choice A is correct).
4.
Answer choice B is correct.
Elimination reactions require two
items: a good leaving group and hydrogen located anti to the
leaving group. All of the molecules have bromine as a leaving group,
which is a good leaving group. Thus, a decision must be made based
on the location of the hydrogen atom. The only viable option must
have a hydrogen atom located on the opposite side of the double
bond to the bromine atom (choice B is correct).
5.
Answer choice D is correct.
Curved arrows indicate the
movement of electrons; straight arrows indicate the progression of a
reaction (choice A is incorrect). Recall that a single arrow
mechanism involves the movement of one electron (choice C is
incorrect). A double-headed arrow mechanism indicates the
movement of a pair of electrons (choice D is correct).

2. From the perspective of thermodynamics, the total free energy change of antibody (Ab) and
antigen (Ag) interaction can be expressed as AG = -RTln(K·1M), where R = 8.3145 J/(mol·K) is
the gas constant, T is the temperature in the unit of Kelvin (K = °C + 273.15), and K is affinity
constant of Ab-Ag interaction. Note: 1M here means 1 Molar, so that affinity constant K has the
unit of 1/M. A negative value of free energy change AG indicates energy release, while a positive
value of free energy change AG indicates energy absorption.
a) At body temperature T = 37°C, if we know the affinity constant K = 108/M, please compute the
total free energy change AG.
