Chemistry: Structure and Properties
- Compound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forwardAddition of m-xylene to the strongly acidic solvent HF/SbF5 at 45C gives a new species, which shows 1H-NMR resonances at 2.88 (3H), 3.00 (3H), 4.67 (2H), 7.93 (1H), 7.83 (1H), and 8.68 (1H). Assign a structure to the species giving this spectrum.arrow_forwardTreatment of benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H) with NaOH followed by 1-iodo-3methylbutane forms H. H has a molecular ion at 192 and IR absorptions at 3064, 3035, 2960−2872, and 1721 cm−1. Propose a structure for H.arrow_forward
- Treatment of the bicyclic chloride A with lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gave the monocyclic product B, C,H,Li. In deuterated THF, B exhibited a single proton NMR signal at 6.72 ppm and a single 13 C-NMR signal at about 110 ppm. Treatment of B with tetraethylammonium chloride gave a white solid in which N(C2H5)4 replaces Li. Draw a structure for the lithium derivative B.
