Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The class of hydrocarbons to which the reactant in the given reaction belong is to be identified and the IUPAC name of the reactant molecule is to be written, the carbon that is oxidized in the formation of each product is to be identified by IUPAC locant and the relation between the alcohols in the product is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bicyclic
While determining the locants for the given alakne, the direction is chosen in such a way that the lower locant is given the first point of difference. The substituents are then listed in alphabetical order, and the locants and substituents are written first in the name of the alkane.
The isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the way the different atoms are connected in their structure are constitutional isomers.

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardWhy are the boiling points of ethers similar to those of alkanes instead of alcohols? a) Both ether molecules and alkane molecules are polar, whereas alcohol molecules are nonpolar. b) Hydrogen bonding between ether molecules is strong and this property is similar to that of alkanes. However, hydrogen bonding is weaker in alcohols than it is in both ethers and alkanes. c) Although ether molecules are polar, they cannot form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. Similarly, alkane molecules do not form hydrogen bonds, whereas there is hydrogen bonding in alcohols. d) None of these are correct explanations.arrow_forwardCompounds with two carbonyl groups are named as alkane diones, for example: R 2,3-butanedione The compound above is an artificial flavor added to microwave popcorn and movie-theater popcorn to simulate the butter flavor.
