Chapter 7, Problem 31P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure formula of the carboxylic acid and the alcohol that are treated to form the methoprene is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The esterification is the type of the reaction in which the alcohol is treated with the carboxylic acid in order to form the ester.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the hydrocarbon that is formed by the replacement of OCH3 groups with the hydrogen atom and COOH group with the methyl group is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The hydrocarbon is the type of the organic compound that is comprised of the carbon and the hydrogen atoms.

Write the structural formula for propylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol. Why is it classified as an alcohol? Is it a polar molecule? Should it be miscible with water?
. (a) The insecticide methoprene (see Fig. 7.32d) is an ester.       Write the structural formulas for the alcohol and the       carboxylic acid that react to form it. Name the       alcohol.(b) Suppose that the carboxylic acid from part (a) is     changed chemically so that the OCH3 group is replaced     by a hydrogen atom and the COOH group is replaced     by a CH3 group. Name the hydrocarbon that would     result.
Alcohols A, B, and C all have the composition C4H10O. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidizedto a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.
