Chapter 14, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The [10] annulene given in section 14.7 B is not aromatic. The factor that makes the given 10 πelectron system aromatic is to identified.

Concept introduction:

Annulenes belong to the class of monocyclic compounds and are represented by the structure containing alternating single and double bonds.

For an annulene to be aromatic, the molecule should have (4n+2)π electrons and a planer carbon skeleton.

For a diels-alder reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride, are the exo and endo forms of product 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-ɑ,β-succinic acid anhydride different stereoisomers or are they the same molecule?
1. If diene is used in excess for a Diels-alder reaction of a-phellandrene and malice acid, which side reaction would be expected? Use chemical equations to support your answer. 2. If methanol was used instead of diethyl ether as the reaction solvent and left tp reflux longer than necessary, what side reactions would you expect to happen. in the reaction flask. Use a chemical equation to support your answer.
If you began an experiment with 5.0 mL of cyclopentadiene and 5.16 g of methyl acrylate, and you then isolated 7.2 g of the Diels-Alder adduct, what would the per cent yield be for that experiment? Make sure that you take the “limiting reagent” into consideration in your calculations.
