Chapter 9, Problem 14CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The more stable nature of cyclopropane in an acidic medium compare to the
Concept introduction: Cycloalkanes are cyclic saturated hydrocarbons. With the presence of a cyclic ring, they are less stable compared to open-chain hydrocarbons. The stability of cycloalkanes depends on the number of carbon atoms present in the cyclic ring.
Epoxide ring is also a three-member ring structure with two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom in the molecule.

- Fill both dashes in the paragraph Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.arrow_forwardExplain why the following reaction takes place as shown. Be sure to fully explain why the reaction sites are used and what is happening to the formal charges.

- 3. An alkene can be converted into an ether in the three mechanistic steps shown below. Complete this mechanism by: Draw curved arrows to indicate the flow of electrons for each step. Lone pairs are omitted for clarity but be sure to include lone pairs on atoms that are involved in bond formation/breaking. Draw the reaction intermediates in the appropriate boxes. Include all nonzero formal charges. Classify each step of the mechanism using the boxes below each arrow as one of the following: acid- base proton transfer (AB), nucleophilic attack (NA), elimination (E), or rearrangement (R). + H-OMe H-OO + MeOH + MeOH + H-OMe H-OO 48arrow_forwardCurved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Using the provided resonance structures, draw the curved electron- pushing arrows to show the interconversion between resonance hybrid contributors.

The reaction resembles a Dieckmann condensation, except instead of two esters, the molecule contains an ester and a ketone. The ketone is more acidic and will be the nucleophile. Your structures should include all nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons. When drawing the enolate place the negative charge on the carbon not the oxygen.arrow_forward
