Chapter 21, Problem 43P
Open the molecular model file for benzyne and examine the following molecular orbitals: the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital), the HOMO-1 (next lower energy orbital), the HOMO-2 (next lower in energy), and the HOMO-3 (next lower in energy).
(a) Which orbital best represents the region where electrons of the additional π bond in benzyne would be found?
(b) Which orbital would accept electrons from a Lewis base on nucleophilic addition to benzyne?
(c) Which orbitals are associated with the six πelectrons of the

Give the IUPAC name for structure A and show how you
determined it.
The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation.
(a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7H13ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
The enamine prepared from acetone and dimethylamine is shown here in its lowest-energy form.
(a) What is the geometry and hybridization of the nitrogen atom?
(b) What orbital on nitrogen holds the lone pair of electrons?
(c) What is the geometric relationship between the p orbitals of the double bond and the
nitrogen orbital that holds the lone pair? Why do you think this geometry represents
the minimum energy?
