Chapter 2, Problem 2.5P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The line-and-wedge and sawhorse conformations of both gauche-butane conformations projected about the central carbon-carbon bond are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newmann projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the CC bonds. This is used to determine the interaction between the groups attached to carbon atoms and the dihedral angle. The front carbon atom in the Newmann projection is represented by the dot and the end on carbon atom is represented by the circle. The groups attached to the carbon atoms are then drawn by the line.

The line-and-wedge representation is used to show the molecule in three dimensions.

The sawhorse representation is used to show the above carbon atom on right side in a molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The correct line-and-wedge structures of the dibromomethane (H2CBr2) are to be stated from the given options. The reason for the incorrect structures is to be explained.

CHEM 310 Quiz 8 Organic Chemistry II Due: Tuesday, April 25th, at 11:59 pm. This quiz is open textbook / open notes - but you must work alone. You cannot use the internet or the solutions manual for the book. Scan in your work and record an explanation of your mechanism. You may record this any way that you like. One way would be to start an individual Zoom meeting, start recording, "share your screen" and then talk through the problem. This will be converted to an .mp4 file that you can upload into Canvas using the "record/upload media" feature. Pyridine, benzoic acid and benzene are dissolved in ethyl acetate. Design and provide a plan / flow chart for separating and isolating each of these components. Pyridine and benzene are liquids at room temperature. Benzoic acid is a solid. You have ethyl acetate, 2M NaOH, 2M HCI and anhydrous MgSO4 available, as well as all the glassware and equipment that you used in the organic lab this year. Provide accurate acid/base reactions for any…
