(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The number of ether groups in the given molecule.

Interpretation: The number of ether groups in the given molecule is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The ether group is represented by ROR. Ethers are of two types. If the alkyl groups attached on either sides of the oxygen atom are the same then the ethers are known as symmetrical ethers. If the alkyl groups attached on either sides of the oxygen atom are different then the ether is known as asymmetrical ether.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The other oxygen-containing functional group in the given compound.

Interpretation: The other oxygen-containing functional group in the given compound is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The alcohol group is represented by ROH and the ester group is represented as RCOOR.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The number of atoms present in the large ring.

Interpretation: Large ring contains large number of atoms called macrolide. The number of atoms present in the large ring is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Large ring contains large number of atoms called macrolide.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The number of chiral centres in the given molecule.

Interpretation: The number of chiral centres in the given molecule is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The substances that have four different groups and have non super imposable mirror image are chiral centers.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The number of stereoisomers in the given molecule.

Interpretation: The number of stereoisomers in the given molecule is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The isomeric molecules having same molecular formula but different special arrangement of their atoms in space are called stereoisomer.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
An ether has a lower boiling point than an aldehyde of the same mass (or number of C atoms).  Why is this? a. the ether, containing a carbonyl group, interacts more strongly (ether molecule to ether molecule) than does an aldehyde (molecule to molecule), b. The ether, with its single O atom, can H bond to only 2 water molecules. c. The ether, with its single O atom and no attached H atom, does not form H bonds and does not have a dipole for dipole/dipole interaction. d. All of the above.
1. a secondary alkyl halide with molecular formula C4H9l 2. trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol 3. tert-butyl phenyl ether 4. an ether with molecular formula C3H8O 5. p-aminophenol
1. STRUCTURE-DESCRIPTION Draw the structure of a compound that fits the given description. 1. the least water-soluble isomer of an alcohol with MF C5H₁2O 2. a compound with MF C₂H4O2 that gives a dicarboxylic acid upon reaction with hot KMnO4 3. an disubstituted cyclic ether with MF C4H8O showing a trans geometry. 4. an alkyl halide with MF C4H9Cl that is most reactive via SN1 mechanism
