Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The class of hydrocarbons to which the reactant in the given reaction belong is to be identified and the IUPAC name of the reactant molecule is to be written, the carbon that is oxidized in the formation of each product is to be identified by IUPAC locant and the relation between the alcohols in the product is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bicyclic
While determining the locants for the given alakne, the direction is chosen in such a way that the lower locant is given the first point of difference. The substituents are then listed in alphabetical order, and the locants and substituents are written first in the name of the alkane.
The isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the way the different atoms are connected in their structure are constitutional isomers.

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of a compound with the formula C7H14O that has an ether and cyclobutane ring, including its IUPAC name? In addition, what is the structure of the compound with the formula C7H14O that does NOT contain the functional groups: epoxide, ether, cycloalkane, alcohol, alkene. Indicate the functional groups used that are present in the structure made for this compound.arrow_forward1. you will choose 10 examples of "branched structures" of alkanes and/or cycloalkanes and explain the step-by-step procedure on how you have arrived on its IUPAC name 2. you will explain the conformations of alkanes and cycloalkanesarrow_forward
- Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.arrow_forwardwhat are the stereoisomers of propane and chloropropane.arrow_forwardWhy are the boiling points of ethers similar to those of alkanes instead of alcohols? a) Both ether molecules and alkane molecules are polar, whereas alcohol molecules are nonpolar. b) Hydrogen bonding between ether molecules is strong and this property is similar to that of alkanes. However, hydrogen bonding is weaker in alcohols than it is in both ethers and alkanes. c) Although ether molecules are polar, they cannot form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. Similarly, alkane molecules do not form hydrogen bonds, whereas there is hydrogen bonding in alcohols. d) None of these are correct explanations.arrow_forward
- Compounds A and B are isomers of the molecular formula C9H19Br. Both yield the same alkene C in an elimination reaction. Hydrogenation of C yields the product 2,3,3,4 tetramethyl pentane. What are the structures of A, B, and C?arrow_forwardClassify each pair of compounds as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, identical molecules, or not isomers of each other.arrow_forwardClassify each pair of compounds as constitutional (structural) isomers or stereo isomers.arrow_forward
- Compounds with two carbonyl groups are named as alkane diones, for example: R 2,3-butanedione The compound above is an artificial flavor added to microwave popcorn and movie-theater popcorn to simulate the butter flavor. Interestingly, this very same compound is also known to contribute to body odor. Name the following compounds: cyclohexane-1,3-dione cycloheptane-1,4-dione gily nonane-2,8-dionearrow_forward2. Write balanced equations for the combustion of the following compounds.
