- 13-52 2,6-Di-/ezY-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT, Section 13-4C) is an antioxidant added to processed foods to “retard spoilage.” How does BHT accomplish this goal?arrow_forward13-57 Benzene, as we have seen in this chapter, is the simplest aromatic compound. Pyidine is an analog of benzene in which a CH group is replaced by a nitrogenarrow_forward13-56 Four alternatives to the structure of benzene proposed by Kekule are shown in the text. In this problem, we ask you to propose additional alternatives for compounds with the molecular formula C6Hg. As you think about possible alternatives keep in mind the building blocks available to you. Also keep in mind that carbon must be tetravalent, that is, each carbon must have no more and no fewer than four bonds. Three- four-, five-, and six-membered rings Carbon—carbon single, double, and triple bonds The possibility for cis /trans isomerism for carbon-carbon double bondsarrow_forward
