Chapter 4, Problem 4.67P

Hydrocarbons like benzene are metabolized in the body to arene oxides, which rearrange to form

phenols. This is an example of a general process in the body, in which an unwanted compound

(benzene) is converted to a more water-soluble derivative called a metabolite, so that it can be

excreted more readily from the body.

Chapter 4, Problem 4.67P, 4.65 	Hydrocarbons like benzene are metabolized in the body to arene oxides, which rearrange to form

a. Classify each of these reactions as oxidation, reduction, or neither.

b. Explain why phenol is more water soluble than benzene. This means that phenol dissolves in urine, which is largely water, to a greater extent than benzene.

" is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
