Interpretation:
A resonance explanation for the ability of halides of the type
Concept introduction:
The rules for drawing resonance structures are as follows:
Only nonbonding electron pairs and pi electrons can participate in conjugation in the formation of various resonating structures.
The single bonds present in the molecule do not break or form in the resonance structures.
The placement of atoms present in the molecule remains fixed.
The octet of all atoms is completely filled.
The resonance effect is the withdrawal or release of electrons through delocalization of
Inductive effect is the electronic effect that arises due to electronegativity difference between the atoms at either end of the bonds.
Primary
Electron withdrawing groups attract electron density toward itself and draw electrons away from the reaction centre.
Electron donating group donate electron density or releases electrons into the reaction centre.
Alkyl group is an electron donating group.

- There is a tick and mosquito repellent DEET (diethyltoluamide) that is prepared by a reaction of diethylamine with m-methylbenzomic acid (m-toluic acid) H+ and heat. What's the structure of DEET?arrow_forwardThe following reaction can produce two products. The first of thes contains ONE double bond. What is the structure of this material?arrow_forwardwhat are the reagents needed to prepare the following compounds from 1-propanolarrow_forward
- 7. How will you prepare the following organoboranes? B(OH)2 HO B(OH)2 (HO),Barrow_forwardOne frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reaction of carboxylic acids with diazomethane, CH2N2. The reaction occurs in two steps: (l) protonation of diazomethane by the carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion, CH3N2+, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with CH3N2+. (a) Draw two resonance structures of diazomethane, and account for step 1. (b) What kind of reaction occurs in step 2?arrow_forwardFormaldehyde, H2C=O, is known to all biologists because of its usefulness as a tissue preservative. When pure, formaldehyde trimerizes to give trioxane, C3H6O3, which, surprisingly enough, has no carbonyl groups. Only one monobromo derivative (C3H5BrO3) of trioxane is possible. Propose a structure for trioxane.arrow_forward
- Methionine, C5H₁1NO2S, is an essential amino acid in humans that is important in angiogenesis and the growth of new blood vessels. When methionine is burned in the presence of excess oxygen, O2, what products are formed? Select all products formed. NO₂ S₂ CO₂ No answer text provided. N₂ H₂O SO2arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the predominant form of CF3CH2OH (pK a = 12.4) at pH = 6.arrow_forwardBased on the results of this experiment, propose a structure for the product of the following reaction:arrow_forward
- what are the products of acid-base reaction between C7H12O2K and H2O? Please draw them outarrow_forwardCyanic acid (HOCN) and isocyanic acid (HNCO) dissolve in water to give the same anion upon deprotonation. (i) Draw Lewis structures for cyanic acid and isocyanic acid. (ii) Using arrow pushing and resonance, account for the fact that each acid gives the same anion on loss of H+ when reacted with NaOH.arrow_forwardWe have a hydrocarbon, C16H26. The compound has two triple bonds and the acids produced by ozonolysis are CH3(CH2)4CO2H and H2OCCH2CO2H. What is a likely structure for this hydrocarbon?arrow_forward
