Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
- The given substituents has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Electronic effect:
Electron donating groups decreases acidity by inductive effect (withdrawal of electrons through a sigma bond). Electron withdrawal increases acidity. Electron-donating substituents destabilize a base, and decrease the strength of its conjugate acid; electron-withdrawing substituents stabilize a base, which increase the strength of its conjugate base.
Rule: The strength of a base depends on the stability of its conjugate acid.
b)
Interpretation:

- For centuries, Chinese herbal medicine has used extracts of Ephedra sinica to treat asthma. Ephedra as an"herbal supplement" has been implicated in the deaths of several athletes and has recently been banned as a dietary supplement. Phytochemical investigation of this plant resulted in isolation of ephedrine, a very potent dilator of the air passages of the lungs. Ephedrine also has profound effects on the cardiovascular system. The natu- rally occurring stereoisomer is levorotatory and has the following structure. Assign an Ror S configuration to each chiral center.

(They were both created using the same color scale.) There is more electron density around the oxygen in cycloheptatrienone compared to the oxygen in cyclopentadienone. Explain the difference. Cycloheptatrienone Cyclopentadienone 2. One of your labs in CHM2211L uses cyclopentadiene as a reagent in a Diels-Alder reaction. However, before it can be used in that reaction it must be heated and distilled as the compound dimerizes while it is stored. Draw the dimerization reaction in bond line form. 3.
