Chapter 14, Problem 14.45P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Total number of Π electrons present in a polycyclic hydrocarbon coronene is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Each C=C double bond consists of two Π electrons.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

It is to be explained whether the number of Π electrons in the given compound is consistent with the fact that the compound is aromatic.

Concept introduction:

A molecule, to be aromatic, must obey Huckel’s rule (4n+2)π electrons. Huckel’s rule for aromaticity states that if a species possesses a pi system of molecular orbitals constructed from p-orbitals that are fully conjugated around a ring (sp2 hybridized), then the species is:

  1. Aromatic, if the number of electrons in that π- system is 2,6,10,14,1,and so on.
  2. Antiaromatic if the number of electrons in that π- system is 4,8,12,16,20,and so on.

Would the following organic synthesis occur in one step? Add any missing products, required catalysts, inorganic reagents, and other important conditions. Please include a detailed explanation and drawings showing how the reaction may occur in one step.
This organic molecule is dissolved in an acidic aqueous solution: OH OH A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C = O stretch absorption. That is, there must now be a new molecule present with at least one C = O bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule.
