Chapter 16, Problem 62IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The all possible conjugated dienes with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{10}$ are needed to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

• The Hydrogen Deficiency Index (HDI): It is used to measure the number of degrees of unsaturation (double and triple bonds or ring) present in a given molecule. It is determined by using the formula.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{HDI}\text{=}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{[(2}\times \text{No}\text{. of Carbon atoms)+2+(No}\text{. of Nitrogen atoms)}\\ \text{ - (No}\text{. of Hydrogen atoms)-(No}\text{. of halogens)]}\end{array}$

• Constitutional isomers are having the same molecular formula and different bond connectivity between the atoms.

To draw: all possible conjugated dienes with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{10}$.
