Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Cyclooctatetraene reacts with potassium metal to form the stable cyclooctatetraene dianion, C6H82-. Whether the reaction will take place readily or not is to be stated. The geometry expected for the cyclooctatetraene dianion is also to be given.
Concept introduction:
According to Huckel’s Rule a planar, cyclic conjugated system will be
If the product is more stable than the reactant the reaction will proceed readily.
A planar geometry is expected for ions that are aromatic.
To state:
Whether the reaction in which cyclooctatetraene reacts with potassium metal to form the stable cyclooctatetraene dianion, C6H82- will take place readily or not.
To give:
The geometry expected for the cyclooctatetraene dianion.

- 1,4-Pentadiene (CH2=CH-CH2-CH=CH2) is a liquid at room temperature and has a density of 0.66 g/mL and molar mass of 68.12 g/mol. In a laboratory experiment, 3.80 mL of this compound was treated with 4.80 mL of conc. H2SO4 (100% w/w; molar mass 98.08 g/mol). Note that the density of conc. H2SO4 is 1.84 g/mL. The resulting sulfate ester was then treated with 1.20 mL of water (molar mass 18.02 g/mol) affording, after work- up, 2,4-pentanediol (molar mass 104.15 g/mol) as the crude product. The crude product was then purified by simple distillation, which yielded 2.00 g of pure product. What is the theoretical yield of 2,4-pentanediol expressed in grams? Show calculations.
