Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The drawings of the alternative chair conformations of A should be completed. The more stable conformations should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The carbon atoms in a ring structure can be rotated upward or downward to form different chair conformations of the same compound. These conformations are called alternative chair conformations.
(b)
Interpretation:
The two
Concept Introduction:
A functional group is a combination of atoms which act together to show typical
Cyclization refers to the chemical reaction through which one or more carbon rings are formed in a compound.

- 2. In the past ether was used as an anaesthetic but has been replaced by safer compounds because it is very volatile and flammable. Explain why ether has a lower boiling point than alcohols but higher than alkanes. Please answer this question with the full explanation, its very urgent!arrow_forwardCyclopentane has a higher boiling point than pentane even though both compounds have the same number of carbons (49 °C vs. 36 °C). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?arrow_forward6. In the chemical reaction CH4 + 202 –→ CO2 + 2H2O, there are reactants on the left of the equation and products on the right. If you count the atoms in the reactants, there are a) 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms b) 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms c) 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms d) 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atomsarrow_forward

Try to explain and justify your reasons for each classificationarrow_forwardmultiple choicearrow_forwardWrite a complete chemical equation showing reactants, products, and catalysts needed(if any) for the following reaction and (2) Draw and name the organic compound found inevery reaction.(Use condensed structural formula) (A) Reaction of cis-3,3-Dimethyl-4-propylocta-1,5-diene with two mole of HBr(B) Reaction of trans-1-Bromo-3-chlorocyclopentane with potassium hydroxide(C) Formation of Gilman reagent using isopropyl bromidearrow_forward
- From this picture, what is the major organic product structure? and what's the reaction involved?arrow_forwardIntramolecular H-bonding (IHB) are interactions that occur within one single molecule. IHB is also known as chelation, since it involves ring formation. Which of the following is (are) stabilized by IHB? * QH Çi OH -NO2 (a) Cl-Ç–Ç–H (b) či ÓH OH (с) CH, —С—СH—С—ОС,Н, CH,OH (d) | CH,OH D B Aarrow_forwardWhat is the structural formula of ethyl 3-methylbutanoate?
