Chapter 12, Problem 12.3YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the formal charge on the carbene C.

Concept introduction:

A species which contains a carbon atom that has a lone pair of electrons and two bonds is termed as a carbene. Having three total electron groups, that C atom lacks an octet and is sp2 hybridized: the lone pair of electrons occupies a hybrid orbital, leaving the p orbital empty. Thus, these carbenes resemble carbocations and are generally highly electron poor.

Zaitsev's rule is useful in selecting which carbon adjacent to a carbocation will form the double bond in the alkene product.  True or False
5. Ribose's structure is ОН HO ОН ОН a) Draw using the arrow formalism the reaction of linear ribose to make a 5-membered ring. b) What is the name of the resulting functional group? c) Given that reaction of alcohols (such as RCH2OH) with carbonyls (such as HCO-R') to create this functional group is typically not thermodynamically favored, why does most ribose in water exist as a 5-membered ring? A few word answer is fine. d) AG°for this reaction is about - 5 kJ/mol. Assuming that you start with a 1 mM solution of ribose in water, what is the approximate concentration at equilibrium of (i) the linear form? (ii) The cyclic form? (A good answer should be correct within 20%, e.g. it is fine to approximate 9 mM as 10 mM, but it is not okay to approximate 0.1 mM as 1 mM.) e) This reaction creates a new stereocenter. Please indicate it with a *. f) Consider the starting point for synthesis of purines like ATP, which is PRPP (pheseboribosylevOrhesehate) НО НО LOLOH HO ОН HO OH Pyrophosphate…
