Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of methylcyclobutane needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The eclipsing strain is due to the nonbonding interactions of the groups and atoms. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(b)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of cis-1, 2-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(c)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of trans-1, 2-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(d)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of cis-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(e)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn. Also, the stability of cis and trans 1,2dimethylcyclobutane and cis and trans 1,3dimethylcylobutane needs to be compared.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
The conformers have the same molecular formula, but the spacious arrangements of the groups are different.

- Post Lab Questions. 1) Draw the mechanism of your Diels-Alder cycloaddition. 2) Only one isomer of product is formed in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Why? 3) Imagine that you used isoprene as diene - in that case you don't have to worry about assigning endo vs exo. Draw the "endo" and "exo" products of the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and maleic anhydride, and explain why the distinction is irrelevant here. 4) This does not hold for other dienes. Draw the exo and endo products of the reaction of cyclohexadiene with maleic anhydride. Make sure you label your answers properly as endo or exo. 100 °C Xylenes ??? 5) Calculate the process mass intensity for your specific reaction (make sure to use your actual amounts of reagent).arrow_forwardIndicate the product(s) A, B C and D that are formed in the reaction: H + NH-NH-CH [A+B] [C+D] hydrazonesarrow_forwardHow can you prepare a 6 mL solution of 6% H2O2, if we have a bottle of 30% H2O2?arrow_forward
