Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The missing formal charges in below set of resonance structure should be added. Also, unimportant resonance structure should be determined.
Concept introduction: Lewis structure is representation of molecule in which dots are shown to represent unshared electrons and lines are shown to represent bonds. These lines and dots represent distribution of electrons in the molecule.
When one single structure is unable to describe all the properties of single molecule, a phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more than two Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are inter-convertible with each other. The resultant of all the resonating or contributing structures is called the resonance hybrid.
Rules to form resonance structure are as follows:
1. Use arrow types 1 and 2 for resonance structure of anions in movement of negative charge.
2. Use only arrow type 3 to move a positive charge for resonance structure of cations.
3. The sigma bond should not be broken. Any atom must not move from its place and total number of electrons must be same in all resonance structures.

Consider the following intramolecular aldol condensation. This result is fully consistent with the two rules we use to determine the likely product of intramolecular aldol condensation reactions. Rule 1: Only form 5 or 6 membered rings, rule 2: the less- hindered carbonyl group will serve as the electrophile. OH- H₂O product not formed Interestingly, if the same starting material is treated with a secondary amine such as pyrrolidine and some acid, the other product is formed preferentially.

- Draw the structure of ,-diethyl--propylthiopentane. With explanationarrow_forwardA. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of nerolidyl pyrophosphate fromfarnesylpyrophosphate B. Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of carbocation 1 from nerolidylpyrophosphate. Number the backbone carbons of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from 1 to 11 as shown, andinclude the carbon numbering in your structure of 1 C. Following from B, give an arrow-pushing mechanism to convert 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Use thebackbone carbon numbering from 1 to indicate where carbon atoms ended up in 2 and 3 D. In addition to forming epi-cedrol, carbocation 3 gives three minor byproducts: a diastereomericalcohol and two alkenes. Draw mechanisms that could give rise to these three productsarrow_forwardPlease don't use Ai solutionarrow_forward
