Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Skeletal structures of molecule A should be drawn by showing the stereochemistry at the carbon-carbon double bond.
Concept Introduction:
The skeletal structure of a molecule is the formulaic representation excluding hydrogens.
(b)
Interpretation:
Stereoisomer of structure A should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist of a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of
Isomers are the different molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
(c)
Interpretation:
Constitutional isomer of structure A should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:

- Based on the structures of lycopene and β-carotene, which are two chemicals found in another common vegetable, the tomato, answer the following questions: 1. Are they stereoisomers, constitutional isomers or not even isomers? 2. Do you expect them to be relatively polar or nonpolar substances? Why? 3. How many double bonds are in lycopene? How many in β -carotene? 4. As lycopene is transformed into β -carotene, how many pi electrons from the double bonds are transformed into single bonds? How many new single bonds are being formed in β -carotene? 5. The first step of a possible mechanism for the ring closure in the transformation is outlined below (only part of the structure is shown for simplicity). Draw the product that results from this arrow pushing mechanism. Be sure to include any formal charges that arise from the carbon atoms.arrow_forwardDraw a complete structure for vanillin showing all C atoms, H atoms, andlone pairs, and give the molecular formula.

- Why is it not possible for a compound to have a quintary carbon (five groups attached to C)?arrow_forwardsort the compounds into pairs of constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical moleculesarrow_forwardHello, I was reading an answer from the book Organic Chemistry by Brown et al. The question is 2.51 "Draw alternative chair conformations for each substituted cyclohexane and state which chair is more stable." There are then 4 cyclohexanes (labeled a-d). For the "a" cyclohexane, the substituents are arranged as a combination of axial and equatorial in both chair conformations. However, for the "b," "c," and "d," cyclohexanes one chair has only equatorial substituents, and the other chair has only axial substituents. Why is the "a" chair conformation different? https://www.bartleby.com/solution-answer/chapter-2-problem-251p-organic-chemistry-8th-edition/9781305580350/draw-alternative-chair-conformations-for-each-substituted-cyclohexane-and-state-which-chair-is-more/4532cd91-c341-11e9-8385-02ee952b546earrow_forward
