Chapter 16, Problem 16.60AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structures of dibromobenzene derivatives are to be drawn by assuming the correctness of Kekule structure of benzene.

Concept introduction:

Kekule structure is the representation of a compound by its Lewis structure. In this structure, the covalent bonds are shown for the bonded electron pairs. Melting point of a compound depends upon its molecular symmetry.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structures of dibromobenzene derivatives are to be assigned by assuming the correctness of Ladenburg structure of benzene.

Concept introduction:

Ladenburg benzene structure is also known as Prismane structure. The carbon and hydrogen atoms of a benzene molecule are represented as three prismane structures arranged in the form of a triangular prism.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The mononitration products which were formed in the least amount are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Nitration is a process in which a nitro group is substituted on the aromatic ring by elecrtophilic substitution reaction. This reaction involves concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid as reagents.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The differences in the Organic Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.60AP , additional homework tip  1spectra of dibromobenzene derivaties are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Organic Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.60AP , additional homework tip  2NMR spectroscopy is used to determine the number of equivalent and non equivalent carbon atoms and to identify the type of carbon atoms present in the compound.

The optically active (2R)-2-phenyl-2-butanol reacts in hydrochloric acid to form haloalkanes and alkenes. The substitution reaction is reported to occur with 100% racemization. Give the structures of the enantiomers that form during the substitution and indicate how much of each is formed. Propose a mechanism for the substitution reaction to yield the R product. What reagents would you use to achieve 100% retention of configuration. Two geometric isomers are obtained during the elimination reaction. Explain mechanistically which alkene will be the main product.
There are three constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C5H12. When treated with chlorine at 300°C, isomer A gives a mixture of four monochlorination products. Under the same conditions, isomer B gives a mixture of three monochlorination products and isomer C gives only one monochlorination product. From this information, assign structural formulas to isomers A, B, and C.
Grignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized. Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.
