- Are the following molecules chiral or achiral? If they are chiral, identify the chiral carbon atom(s).(a) Pentan-3-ol (b) 2-Bromobutane(c) 2-Methylcyclohexanolarrow_forwardThe reaction of methoxy benzene with hydrogen iodide will yield a phenol and an alkyl halide. Which of following choices is the correct combination of the products?arrow_forwardFor A, B, C, D, E, F, identify the circled functional groups and linkages in the compound in the picture.arrow_forward
- The explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) is made by carrying out three successive nitration reactions on toluene. If these nitrations only occur in the ortho and para positions relative to the methyl group, what is the structure of TNT?arrow_forwardFor the first part, draw a Fischer projection formula for the enantiomer of each of the following monosaccharides. For the second part, identify whether the images are in D- or L-configuration. Write your answers first on a piece of bond paper.arrow_forwardWhich of the following define the stereochemistry of alanine (as per the structure shown)? Note: Functional groups arranged horizontally are facing towards the front, and the functional groups arranged vertically are facing towards the back. a) d- b) S- c) R- d) I-arrow_forward
- Why is this compound achiral?arrow_forwardCellulose is water insoluble, despite its many OH groups. Based on its three-dimensional structure, why do you think this is so?arrow_forwardDraw the complete structural formula of arachidonic acid (Table 23.1) in a way that shows the cis stereochemistry of its four double bonds.arrow_forward
