Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the condensed structures for 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Condensed structures: A condensed structures only shows the total number of atoms but not bonds exist between the atoms. The vertical and horizontal line which represents bonding all should be omitted.

Line structure: In organic compounds, the series of atoms in the compound are bonded together which shown by drawing a line between them. End of line segment represents carbon

Predicting cis-trans isomers:

In general, the alkene can exist as cis or trans isomer only if the two substituents on each carbon are not equal. Like,

Cis-isomer: In cis-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the same side.

Trans-isomer: In trans-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the opposite side.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the both condensed and line structures for 2-Methyl-2-hexene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.

When Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it, and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms.
