Question
Chapter 29, Problem 44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: In biological reactions, allylic carbocations are the intermediates that are required for the formation of Farnesyl diphosphate.
The general steps involved in the biological formation of Farnesyl diphosphate are stated below.
➢ The first step is the generation of allylic carbocation by the loss of the diphosphate group.
➢ The second step is the nucleophilic attack of isopentyl diphosphate to form new bond.
➢ The third step is the deprotonation to give final product.

Assume that the energy required to break a hydrogen bond is approximately 8 kJ/mol. Consider a simplified two-state model where a "formed" hydrogen bond is in the ground state and a "broken" bond is in the excited state. Using this model: • Calculate the fraction of broken hydrogen bonds at T = 300 K, and also at T = 273 K and T = 373 K. • At what temperature would approximately 50% of the hydrogen bonds be broken? • What does your result imply about the accuracy or limitations of the two-state model in describing hydrogen bonding in water? Finally, applying your understanding: • Would you expect it to be easier or harder to vaporize water at higher temperatures? Why?
