Interpretation:
Ozonolysis of o-xylene yielded three products, glyoxal, 2,3-butanedione and pyruvaldehyde in 3:1:2 ratio. What conclusion can be obtained about the structure of o-xylene from this observation is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
During ozonolysis double bonds present in compounds gets cleaved to give carbonyl compounds. Each carbon in the double bond gets bonded to an oxygen atom. As the benzene ring can be represented by two different resonance forms during ozonolysis, compounds with substituent groups on the benzene ring yield different products. The final ratio in which different products will be formed can be arrived at by considering the products of the ozonolysis of different resonance forms of the reactant.
To state:
What conclusion can be obtained about the structure of o-xylene from the observation that upon ozonolysis it yielded three products, glyoxal, 2,3-butanedione and pyruvaldehyde in 3:1:2 ratio.

- (15 pts) Consider the molecule B2H6. Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for the molecule (B2H6).arrow_forwardQ8: Propose an efficient synthesis of cyclopentene from cyclopentane.arrow_forwardQ7: Use compound A-D, design two different ways to synthesize E.
