The products of the given Diels-Alder reaction has to be predicted. Concept Introduction: Diels-Alder reaction: A conjugated diene reacts with a compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond. It is a cycloaddition reaction, where two reactants form a cyclic product. Conformation of Diene: S-Cis Conformer: The double bonds are cis about the single bond (s stands for single), in an s-cis conformer. S-trans Conformer: The double bonds are trans- about the single bond (s stands for single) in an s-trans conformer. Condition for Diels-Alder reaction: The conjugate diene must be in an s-cis conformation because when it is in an S-trans conformation, C-1 and C-4 are too far apart to react with the dienophile in a concerted reaction. Rule: The stabilities of carbocation are, Benzyl cation = allyl cation = 3 ∘ carbocation > 2 ∘ carbocation > 1 ∘ carbocation > methyl cation > vinyl cation

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of the given Diels-Alder reaction has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Diels-Alder reaction:

A conjugated diene reacts with a compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond. It is a cycloaddition reaction, where two reactants form a cyclic product.

Conformation of Diene:

S-Cis Conformer: The double bonds are cis about the single bond (s stands for single), in an s-cis conformer.

S-trans Conformer: The double bonds are trans- about the single bond (s stands for single) in an s-trans conformer.

Condition for Diels-Alder reaction:

The conjugate diene must be in an s-cis conformation because when it is in an S-trans conformation, C-1 and C-4 are too far apart to react with the dienophile in a concerted reaction.

Rule: The stabilities of carbocation are,

Benzyl cation = allyl cation = 3∘carbocation > 2∘ carbocation > 1∘ carbocation > methyl cation > vinyl cation

Dr. Mendel asked his BIOL 260 class what their height was and what their parent's heights were. He plotted that data in the graph below to determine if height was a heritable trait. A. Is height a heritable trait? If yes, what is the heritability value? (2 pts) B. If the phenotypic variation is 30, what is the variation due to additive alleles?

Experiment: Each team will be provided with 5g of a mixture of acetanilide and salicylic acid. You will divide it into three 1.5 g portions in separate 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks savıng some for melting point analysis. Dissolve the mixture in each flask in ~60mL of DI water by heating to boiling on a hotplate. Take the flasks off the hotplate once you have a clear solution and let them stand on the bench top for 5 mins and then allow them to cool as described below. Sample A-Let the first sample cool slowly to room temperature by letting it stand on your lab bench, with occasional stirring to promote crystallization. Sample B-Cool the second sample 1n a tap-water bath to 10-15 °C Sample C-Cool the third sample in an ice-bath to 0-2 °C Results: weight after recrystalization and melting point temp. A=0.624g,102-115° B=0.765g, 80-105° C=1.135g, 77-108 What is the percent yield of A,B, and C.
