Concept explainers
(a)
To draw: The structure of the isomer A and B.
Interpretation: The structure of the isomer A and B is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Isomers is defined as the molecules which has the same molecular formula, but different structure representations. The number of atoms is same, but the atomic arrangement is different for each molecule.
(b)
To determine: The reason that compoundA is the major product when using sodium hydroxide as the base, whereas compound B is the major product when using potassium tert-butoxide as the base.
Interpretation: The reason that compound A is the major product when using sodium hydroxide as the base, whereas compound B is the major product when using potassium tert-butoxide as the base are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Isomers is defined as the molecules which has the same molecular formula, but different structure representations. The number of atoms is same, but the atomic arrangement is different for each molecule.

What is the structure of the compound produced by hydrolysis of propanenitrile, CH3CH2C≡N, if it has IR absorptions from 2500–3100 cm-1 and at 1710 cm-1, and has M+=74?arrow_forward
- Thioglycolic acid, HSCH2CO2H, a substance used in depilatory agents (hair removers) has pKa = 3.42. What is the percent dissociation of thioglycolic acid in a buffer solution at pH = 3.0?arrow_forwardPropose structures for alcohols that have the following 1HNMR spectra: (a) C5H12Oarrow_forwardTranexamic acid, a drug useful against blood clotting, is prepared commercially from p-methylbenzonitrile. Formulate the steps likely to be used in the synthesis. (Don’t worry about cis-trans isomers; heating to 300 C interconverts the isomers.)arrow_forward
- The 1H and 13C NMR spectra below belong to a compound with formula C6H10O2. Propose a structure for this compound.arrow_forwardA step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostaglandin E1, alprostadil) is the reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.arrow_forwardNonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forward
- 15-41 Compound A(C5Hh, is not optically active and cannot be separated into enantiomers. It reacts with bromine in carbon tetrachloride to discharge the purple color of bromine and form Compound B( C.FL Br,). When Compound A is treated with H., in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, it is converted to compound C(C5H10). When treated with HC1, compound A is converted to compound DtC.HyCl). Given this information, propose structural formulas for compounds A B, C, and D. Hint: There are at least three possibilities for Compound A and, in turn, three possibilities for Compounds B.
