Concept explainers
a) Dinitrobenzene
Interpretation:
The possible isomers for dinitrobenzene are to be drawn and their names are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Disubstituted benzenes can exist as three isomers such as ortho, meta and para. They are named using the prefixes ortho (o), meta (m) and para (p). An ortho-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,2-relationship on the ring. A meta-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,3-relationship on the ring. A para-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,4-relationship on the ring. While writing the name the substituent groups are arranged alphabetically.
To draw:
The possible isomers for dinitrobenzene and to name them.
b) Bromodimethylbenzene
Interpretation:
The possible isomers for bromodimethylbenzene are to be drawn and their names are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Trisubstitutedbenzenes can exist as six isomers with the three substituents in 1,2,3; 1,2,4; 1,2,5; 1,2,6; 1,3,4 and 1,3,5 relationship.
Benzene with more than two substituent groups are named choosing a point of attachment as carbon 1 and numbering the substituent groups on the ring so that the second substituent has as low number as possible. If ambiguity still exists, numbering is done such that the third and fourth substituent groups have a number as low as possible, until a point of difference is obtained. While writing the name the substituent groups are arranged alphabetically.

c) Trinitrophenol
Interpretation:
The possible isomers for trinitrophenol are to be drawn and their names are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Trinitrophenol can exist as six isomers with the four substituents in 1,2,3,4; 1,2,3,5; 1,2,3,6; 1,2,4,5; 1,2,4,6 and 1,3,4,5 relationship.

- Compound A, C5H10O, is one of the basic building blocks of nature. All steroids ans many other naturally occurring compounds are built from compound A. Spectroscopic analysis of A yields the following information. a) how many double bonds and/or rings does A have? b) From the IR spectrum, what is the identity of the oxygen-conataining functional group? c) what kinds of protons are responsible for the NMR absorptions listed d) propose a structure for Aarrow_forwardGive a systematic name for compound 2.1 including its stereochemical designationarrow_forwardProvide an acceptable name for the compound shown belowarrow_forward
- Compound B has molecular formula C9H10. The IR spectrum is shown below. The 1H-NMR spectrum shows a multiplet at 7.2 ppm integrating to 4H, a triplet at 2.9 ppm integrating to 4H, and a triplet at 2.1 ppm integrating to 2 H. Suggest a structure for B and explain your reasoningarrow_forwardCompound 1 is an anticoagulant that is extracted from, among other plants, the sweetclover plant, Melilotus Officinalis. However, the compound is moderately toxic and alsofinds use as a rodenticide. Name this compoundarrow_forwardUse the 1H NMR and IR spectra given below to identify the structure ofcompound B (molecular formula C4H8O2).arrow_forward
- 3. Cyclopropenones are described as having aromatic character. How would you account for this, given that the ring contains three π-electrons?arrow_forwardCompound C has molecular formula C5H8O. The IR, mass, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectra are shown below. Suggest a structure for C and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardCompound A, C9H16 reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen on catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment. What is the structure for A?arrow_forward
- On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forwardA compound A, C7H12, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over platinum catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, C7H16. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C5H10O2. Write the reactions and draw structures for A, B and C.arrow_forwardChemical compound A is an alkene that when treated with ozone followed by treatment of Zn in HOAc produces only (CH3CH2CH2) 2C = O.
