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.

- A molecule shows peaks at 1379, 1327, 1249, 739 cm-1. Draw a diagram of the energy levels for such a molecule. Draw arrows for the possible transitions that could occur for the molecule. In the diagram imagine exciting an electron, what are its various options for getting back to the ground state? What process would promote radiation less decay? What do you expect for the lifetime of an electron in the T1 state? Why is phosphorescence emission weak in most substances? What could you do to a sample to enhance the likelihood that phosphorescence would occur over radiationless decay?arrow_forwardRank the indicated C—C bonds in increasing order of bond length.

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardThe SN 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
