(a)
Interpretation:
The secondary carbon and a tertiary carbon should be differentiated.
Concept introduction:
Primary (
A carbon atom with one other carbon attached to it.
Secondary
A carbon atom with two other carbons attached to it .
Tertiary
A carbon atom with three other carbons attached to it .
Quaternary
A carbon atom with four other carbons attached to it.
Attachment of carbon atom:
A primary carbon is bonded to one other carbon.
A secondary carbon is bonded to two other carbons.
A tertiary carbon is bonded to three other carbons.
A quaternary carbon is bonded to four other carbons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The primary carbon and a quaternary carbon should be differentiated.
Concept introduction:
Primary (
A carbon atom with one other carbon attached to it.
Secondary
A carbon atom with two other carbons attached to it .
Tertiary
A carbon atom with three other carbons attached to it .
Quaternary
A carbon atom with four other carbons attached to it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The Secondary carbon structure as shown in Problem (12.33b) should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Primary (
A carbon atom with one other carbon attached to it.
Secondary
A carbon atom with two other carbons attached to it.
Tertiary
A carbon atom with three other carbons attached to it.
Quaternary
