Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The resonance structures for each of the given compounds are to be written.
Concept introduction:
In the conjugated systems, conjugation is the interaction of p-orbitals with one another across an intervening sigma bond.
A conjugated system, in simple words, can be represented as a system in which compounds have alternate double bonds and single bonds.
The delocalization of unpaired electrons results in the increase of stability of the primary, secondary, and tertiary carbocations.
Resonance is defined as the movement of pi-electrons from one carbon to another in order to stabilize the charged intermediates.
Having a higher resonance or more resonant structures means more stability.
Resonant structures do not actually exist on their own. It is a study of the mechanism for the formation of an organic compounds.
Only electrons can be moved while writing resonance structures.
All structures should be in proper Lewis structures.
All resonance structures should have the same number of unpaired electrons.
All atoms that contribute in the delocalized

- 3) Outline an acceptable step by step mechanism for the Nucleophilic aromatic substitution of ortho-fluoronitrobenzene with methylamine. Do not forget to include the formal charges of all non-hydrogen atoms that do not have a neutral charge.arrow_forward1, 6-Methanonaphthalene has an interesting 1H NMR spectrum in which the eight hydrogens around the perimeter absorb at 6.9 to 7.3 δ, while the two CH2 protons absorb at -0.5 δ. Tell whether it is aromatic, and explain its NMR spectrum.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. Suggest reasonable structures for these two compounds.arrow_forward
- Most alkyl bromide are water-insoluble liquids. But when the following alkyl bromide Awas first isolated, its high melting point of 203oC (solid at room temperature) and its water solubility led its discoverers to comment that it behaves more like a salt (hint: like NaCl). Explain the salt-like behavior of compound A in under thirty words.arrow_forwardCompound C shows a molecular ion at m/z 148 and other prominent peaks at m/z 105 and 77. Following are its infrared and 1H-NMR spectra. Q.) Deduce the structural formula of compound Carrow_forwardWhich of the following paths are useful to synthesize the compound on the middle of the image? It is valid to choose more than one, only one, all of them or none of them.arrow_forward

- The IR spectrum of compound A with a molecular formula of C5H12O is shown below. Compound A is oxidized to give compound B, a ketone with a molecular formula of C5H10O. When compound A is heated with H2SO4, compounds C and D are obtained. Considerably more D is obtained than C.Reaction of compound C with O3, followed by treatment with dimethyl sulfide, gives two products: formaldehyde and compound E, with a molecular formula of C4H8O. Reaction of compound D with O3, followed by treatment with dimethyl sulfide, gives two products: compound F, with a molecular formula of C3H6O, and compound G, with a molecular formula of C2H4O. What are the structures of compounds A through G?arrow_forwardThymol (molecular formula C10H14O) is the major component of the oil ofthyme.
