Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of rings and number of pi bonds in A is to be determined. And one possible structure is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Degree of unsaturation is used to determine the total number of rings and pi bonds present in compound by just looking at the molecular formula. It does not specify the total number of rings and total number of pi bonds individually.
(b)
Interpretation: The number of rings and number of pi bonds in B is to be determined. And one possible structure is to be drawn.

- How many rings and π(pi) bonds are contained in compound A and draw one possible structure for this compound A. Compound A has molecular formula C6H10 and is hydrogenated to a compound having molecular formula C6H12arrow_forward7. The antioxidant BHA and BHT are commonly used as food preservatives. Dhow how BHA and BHT can be made from phenol and hydroquinone. OH OH C(CH3)3 (H3C),C, C(CH3)3 ÓCH3 ČH3 ВНА BHTarrow_forwardClassify the carbocations as 1º, 2º, or 3º, and rank the carbocations in each group in order of increasing stability.arrow_forward
- Break compound A into several small (less or equals to 6 carbon atom) molecules. You need to explain the reasons why you choose to break those bonds.arrow_forward7. You discover a bottle of compound A with the label "C8H₁4" in the lab. Compound A decolourizes Br2 in CCl4 and becomes compound B (C8H14Br2). Treatment of B with two moles of potassium hydroxide produces compound C. Treatment of C with acidic potassium permanganate produces two four- carbon compounds: a diketone and a dialdehyde, respectively. However, treatment of A with acidic potassium permanganate produces only one product-compound D (shown below). Identify compounds A through C, clearly showing how you reached your conclusions. e Darrow_forwardCompound A has molecular formula C7H15B.. Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product (compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.arrow_forward
- An ion with a positively charged nitrogen atom in a three-membered ring is called an aziridinium ion. The following aziridinium ion reacts with sodiummethoxide to form compounds A and B: If a small amount of aqueous Br2 is added to A, the reddish color of Br2 persists, but the color disappears when Br2 is added to B. When the aziridinium ion reacts with methanol, only A is formed. Identify A and B.arrow_forwardIt's 5 options: A) Compound B B) Compound C C) Compound D D) Compound E E) Compoound Farrow_forwardWhich statement is most correct for the compounds labeled A and B? В norbornenes Compound B is more stable than compound A because it has more substituents. O Compound B is more stable than compound A because the p orbitals in compound B have greater side to side overlap. O Compound A is more stable than compound B because the p orbitals in compound A have greater side to side overlap. Compound A is more stable than compound B because it has less torsional strain. OCompound B is more stable than compound A because it has less torsional strain.arrow_forward
- Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone. Identify the structures of A–D.arrow_forwardCompound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H,CI. Treatment of compound A with sodium methoxide (NaOMe), a substitution reaction predominates. When compound B is treated with sodium methoxide, an elimination reaction predominates. Propose structures for compounds A and B. compound A: Draw Your Solution eTextbook and Media: compound 8: Draw Your Solutionarrow_forwardCompound A exhibits a peak in its 1H NMR spectrum at 7.6 ppm, indicating that it is aromatic. (a) How are the carbon atoms of the triple bonds hybridized? (b) In what type of orbitals are the π electrons of the triple bonds contained? (c) How many π electrons are delocalized around the ring in A?arrow_forward
