Answer to Problem 11.1QP

Catenation of the carbon atom

Explanation of Solution

Carbon forms more compound than the other element

Catenation of the carbon atom.

Carbon forms the covalent bond with other atoms or other carbon atoms through catenation and forms longer chain and structures.

Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s22p2.

The outer electronic configuration of the carbon is four electrons that will be participating in the bond formation. Totally carbon will form four covalent bonds with the other atoms or carbon atoms. Moreover size of the carbon atom is small which form more strong covalent bond because of these reasons which make the Carbon forms more compound than the other element.

Write structural formulas for the major products by doing addition reactions 1. You must add H2 as Pt is catalyst it does not take part in reactions only speed up the process H₂ CH2=CH-CH3 Pt 2. Add HCI break it into H and Cl CH3 HCI 3. Add Br2 only CC14 is catalyst CH3-CH=CH2 B12 CCl4 4. Add water to this and draw major product, H2SO4 is catalyst you have add water H20 in both the reaction below H₂SO4 CH3-CH=CH2 CH3 H2SO4/H₂O CH3-C=CH2 reflux ?
Plan the synthesis of the following compound using the starting material provided and any other reagents needed as long as carbon based reagents have 3 carbons or less. Either the retrosynthesis or the forward synthesis (mechanisms are not required but will be graded if provided) will be accepted if all necessary reagents and intermediates are shown (solvents and temperature requirements are not needed unless specifically involved in the reaction, i.e. DMSO in the Swern oxidation or heat in the KMnO4 oxidation).
