Chapter 4, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of rings in the cubane is to be determined using given formula.

Concept introduction:

Cubane is an artificial molecule in which there are 8 carbons at the corners of a cube, each carbon attached to one hydrogen atom.

The number of atoms in one ring will be 4 and the number of single bonds will be 8.

The number of rings can be calculated by:

SA+1=N

Here, S is number of single bonds, A is number of atoms present in a ring, and N is number of rings.

Brainberene, a compound isolated from an organic chemist’s brain, has the molecular formula C16 H26.  When Brainberene is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation using an excess of hydrogen, 1 mol of Brainberene absorbs 3 mol of hydrogen and produces B: C16 H32.  1) What is the element of unsatuation (IHD) of Brainberene?  2) How many double bonds and rings do Brainberene has? Laboratory experiments revealed that Brainberene has no triple bonds. 3) What is the IHD of B? d) How many double bonds and rings does B has? 12

1. An experimental technique called ¹3C-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy allows chemists to tell how many different kinds of carbon there are in a molecule and whether carbons are primary (1°), secondary (2°), tertiary (3°), or quaternary (4°). Give dash (Kekule) structures (i.e., use lines for electron pair bonds) for the following compounds having a molecular formula C6H12. Also, on each structure, identify carbons as 1º, 2º, 3º, 4º; tell how many different kinds of C's there are; and designate which C's are equivalent. a) A compound having only single bonds and only secondary carbons. b) A compound having only single bonds and primary, secondary, and tertiary carbons. c) A compound having only single bonds and only primary, secondary, and quaternary carbons. d) A compound having only single bonds and primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons.
