Chapter 15, Problem 62P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The facts related to the “existence of enantiomeric forms in the given substituted biphenyl compounds” are to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Biphenyl is a compound in which two benzene rings are joined by a single bond.

In biphenyls, two benzene rings are present at two different axes, which does not contain the axis of symmetry.

The substituted biphenyl compounds exist in enantiomeric forms due to the lack of the plane of symmetry.

Consider the reaction of a propanoate ester with hydroxide ion shown below. A series of four alcohol leaving groups were tested to determine which would be the best leaving group. Based on the pKa values of the alcohols, predict which alcohol would produce the fastest hydrolysis reaction. HO FOR A Alcohol I, pKa =16.0 B Alcohol II, pKa =10.0 C Alcohol III, pKa = 7.2 + ROH D Alcohol IV, pKa = 6.6
