Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of the given ether has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Structure of ether can be derived from the common name or IUPAC name.
From common name:
The two hydrocarbon groups are given in alphabetical order in the common name. They both are attached through oxygen atom which leads to the structure of the ether.
From IUPAC name:
The base name is drawn first followed by attaching the alkoxy group at the correct number of carbon atom where it is substituted in the base name. This is indicated in the IUPAC name itself.
(b)

- Q5: Label each chiral carbon in the following molecules as R or S. Make sure the stereocenter to which each of your R/S assignments belong is perfectly clear to the grader. (8pts) R OCH 3 CI H S 2pts for each R/S HO R H !!! I OH CI HN CI R Harrow_forwardCalculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structurearrow_forwardA. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?arrow_forward
