Concept explainers
Interpretation:
5-Cholestane-3-one is to be prepared from cholesterol. How IR spectroscopy could be used to predict whether the reaction was successful is to be stated. The differences that could be observed in the IR spectrum of the starting material and the product are to be given.
Concept introduction:
In IR, the alcohols have a strong C-O adsorption near 1050 cm-1 and a characteristic O-H stretching adsorption around 3300 to 3600cm-1. In hydrogen bonded alcohols this absorption occurs in the 3300cm-1 to 3400cm-1.
Aliphatic
To state:
The use of IR spectroscopy in predicting whether the reaction ‘Conversion of cholestane-3-one to cholesterol’ was successful or not.
To give:
The differences that could be observed in the IR spectrum of cholesterol and 5-cholestane-3-one.

- 9) What would be the difference between the 4 alcohols in IR? They all show O-H, C-H sp3, and C-H aromatic bonds. The only way to tell which one is used would be by comparing the fingerprint regions to published IR spectra of each alcohol. Alcohol 2 has an aldehyde C-H group that could be seen between 2700-2800 and 2800-2900 cm-1 Only alcohol 3 will show O-H bond around 3300 cm-1 Only alcohol 1 will show C=C aromatic bonds around 1600 cm-1 10) Assuming 5.0 mL of alcohol 2 was used and 2.2 g of the product was isolated, what is the percent yield for this reaction? The product has a molar mass of 198.00 g/mol. 11) How could the percent yield be increased for this reaction? Add NaOH to neutralize the product as it forms Add a catalyst such as H2SO4 to help speed up the reaction Add a catalyst such as HCl to help speed up the reaction Cool the reaction on ice to increase the rate of reaction 12) Is there another way that the product of this reaction…arrow_forwardAssume that you are carrying out the base-induced dehydrobromination of 3-bromo-3-methylpentane (Section 11-7) to yield an alkene.

- How would you interpret this IR spectroscopy of 9-fluorenone? Some background information is that this was a lab to separate fluorene and 9-fluorenone. It should be noted that other solids and solvents used during the column chromatography was alumina, sand, petroleum ether, and dichloromethane. The original compound was 0.05 g but it yielded 0.03 g 9-fluorenone. There may or may not be impurities.arrow_forwardBased on this portion of an IR spectra is there a ketone that is present?arrow_forwardPlease help me to interpret this spectrum of Methyl-3-nitrobenzoate.arrow_forward
