Chapter 4, Problem 73P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The optically inactive compound for the given molecular formula has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Optical activity of a molecule is the interaction between molecule and plane-polarized light.

Molecule having asymmetric center shows optical activity except mesocompounds.

Asymmetric center is a stereocenter which arises to hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.

Mesocompounds has asymmetric centers and a plane of symmetry, so the molecule superimposable on its mirror image, thereby the compound is achiral.

If the four groups attached to both asymmetric centers of a compound are identical, then the compound is a mesocompound.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mesocompound (optically inactive compound) for the given molecular formula has to be drawn.

If the four groups attached to both asymmetric centers of a compound is identical, then the compound is a mesocompound.

If a cyclic compound has two asymmetric centers with identical substituents, then cis-isomer of the compound is a mesocompound.

Asymmetric center is arises to hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.

[In this question, there are multiple answers to type in a "fill-in-the-blank" fashion - in each case, type in a whole number.] Consider using Slater's Rules to calculate the shielding factor (S) for the last electron in silicon (Si). There will be electrons with a 0.35 S-multiplier, electrons with a 0.85 S-multiplier, and electrons with a 1.00 S-multiplier.
