The given molecular models are to be converted into a condensed structural formula, a Kekule structure, and a skeletal (line) structure. Concept Introduction: Molecular model of a chemical compound represents the three-dimensional position of the atoms along with the bonds between them. The atoms are represented by spheres, connected by rods, which represent the bonds. Wedges represent the bonds toward the viewer, dashes represent the bonds away from the viewer, and solid lines represent the bonds in the plane of the image. The structural formula of a chemical compound consists of the graphic representation of the molecular structure and the arrangement of atoms. In an organic molecule, the structure representation of an atom takes place by single or double bonds without lone pairs; it is called the Kekule structure. In an organic molecule, bonds are not represented by a single line or branched chains; it is called the condensed structural formula. In an organic molecule, when the structure consists of straight lines that represent C − C bonds in which carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown, it is called skeletal structures.

Complete the following table. The only density needed is already given. Show your calculations in a neat and easy-to-follow manner in the space below the table. All units should be included and significant figures should be given close attention. Be sure to notice that the amount of material should be in millimoles rather than moles, and the theoretical mass of the product should in milligrams rather than grams.

Kumada Coupling: 1. m-Diisobutylbenzene below could hypothetically be synthesized by Friedel-Crafts reaction. Write out the reaction with a mechanism and give two reasons why you would NOT get the desired product. Draw the reaction (NOT a mechanism) for a Kumada coupling to produce the molecule above from m-dichlorobenzene. Calculate the theoretical yield for the reaction in question 2 using 1.5 g of p-dichlorobenzene and 3.0 mL isobutyl bromide. What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material? What other impurities are present in your product and how do you know?

Wintergreen from Aspirin: 1. In isolating the salicylic acid, why is it important to press out as much of the water as possible? 2. Write the mechanism of the esterification reaction you did. 3. What characteristic absorption band changes would you expect in the IR spectrum on going from aspirin to salicyclic acid and then to methyl salicylate as you did in the experiment today? Give approximate wavenumbers associated with each functional group change. What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material?
