Concept explainers
Interpretation:
One aspect from each of two spectroscopic methods that would distinguish each compound in the given pair is to be described.
Concept introduction:
舧 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is one of the most capable analytical techniques used for determining functional groups and how the atoms are structured and arranged in a molecule.
舧 Few elements, such as
舧 In
舧 Induced magnetic field consists of electricity generated from movement in a magnetic field.
舧 Infrared spectroscopy is a simple, instrumental technique, which helps to determine the presence of various functional groups.
舧 It depends on the interactions of atoms or molecules with the electromagnetic radiation.
舧 Infrared spectroscopy is most commonly used in the identification of the structure of the compound.
舧 Infrared spectroscopy is the examination of the infrared light interacting with a molecule. The examination can be done in three ways, that is, by measuring absorption, emission, and reflection, and it can also measure the vibration of atoms.
舧
舧 A compound containing protons or carbon-13, when placed under a strong magnetic field and treated with electromagnetic radiation of suitable frequency, the nuclei of the compound absorb energy through a process called magnetic resonance.
舧 Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a graph showing characteristic energy absorption frequencies and intensities of a compound under magnetic field. The number of signals in the spectrum indicates the number of different proton environments present in the molecule.
舧 DEPT stands for distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer. DEPT
舧 Mass spectrometry is a detection of ions on the basis of weight and charge, and their abundancy after formation of ions.
舧 Mass spectroscopy is a graph with mass (
舧 Molecular ions formed by EI mass spectrometry are high energy species. Fragmentation of molecular ion means that a complex molecule is broken into smaller molecules and these fragments can undergo more breaking.
舧 When infra-red (IR) radiation is passed through a sample, the energy of the IR radiation is absorbed by the particle. Unlike UV-Vis, the electrons don’t jump to higher orbitals instead there is a change in the vibrational energy of the covalent bond, within the molecule.
舧 IR spectroscopy is used to find the functional groups in the molecule.

- The German chemist Wilhelm Kӧrner (1839-1925) observed in 1974 that each of the three isomers of dibromobenzene, A, B, and C, gave a different number of tribromobenzenes upon further bromination, allowing him to assign their respective structures. Try to do the same and assign structures to A, B, and C based on the following results: A gives two tribromobenzenes in comparable amounts B gives three tribromobenzenes, one of them in minor quantities C gives only one tribromobenzenearrow_forwardCompound A whose molecular formula is C9H11ClO, is found to be aromatic, and on vigorous oxidation with hot, concentrated, basic potassium permanganate followed by acidification, a new aromatic, compound B with the molecular formula of C7H5ClO2 is formed. On treatment with bromine and a ferric bromide catalyst, compound B produces ONLY 2 monobrominated derivatives, compounds C and D, each having the molecular formula C7H4BrClO2. On treatment with sodium metal, compound A produces bubbles of hydrogen gas. Controlled oxidation of compound A with PCC first gives compound E, with formula C9H9ClO. Compound E produces a silver mirror with Tollen’s reagent. Mild oxidation of compound E by chromic acid produces compound F, with the molecular formula C9H9ClO2 which turns blue litmus red. When compound A is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a single compound G, whose molecular formula is C9H9Cl, is produced. On ozonolysis followed by reaction with dimethyl sulfide, compound G gives…arrow_forward1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluoro-6-nitrobenzene reacts readily with sodium methoxide in methanol at room temperature to yield two major products, each having the molecular formula C7H3F4NO3.

Treatment of either of these monochlorides with potassium tert-butoxide gives the same alkene (C4H8) as the product, but B leads to just one isomer of the alkene, D, where C gives D and another isomer of the alkene, E.
