Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The number of tertiary carbons present has to be determined in the compound as shown in Problem 12.65.
Concept introduction:
Classification of Carbon atom:
Carbons can be classified in to three types,
Primary,
Secondary,
Tertiary
Quaternary
Primary Carbon:
Carbon that directly attached to three or two hydrogens having one or two (alkyl or aryl) respectively is primary carbon.
Secondary Carbon:
Carbon is directly attached with one hydrogen atoms and two alkyl or aryl group (two substituents) is called Secondary Carbon.
Tertiary Carbon:
Carbon is directly attached to three alkyl or aryl groups (three substituents) is called
Quaternary Carbon:
Carbon is directly attached to four alkyl or aryl groups (four substituents) is called

- When Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it, and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms.arrow_forwardDraw a structure for the compound, C3H5Br, that fits the following 1H NMR data: δ 2.32 (3H, singlet) δ 5.35 (1H, broad singlet) δ 5.54 (1H, broad singlet)arrow_forwardDoes trehalose (Problem 20.68) have an acetal grouping?
