Interpretation:
A reasonable explanation is to be provided for each of the listed observations.
Concept introduction:
Boiling point of a compound depends on the strength of intermolecular forces between its molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, higher the boiling point.
The strength of different types of intermolecular forces in covalent compounds varies as
Addition to a planar
Quaternary ammonium hydoxides undergo
Primary
Primary carbocation can undergo rearrangement if it results in a more stable secondary or tertiary carbocation.

- Describe the reaction involving the preparation of N-Propylcycloheptanamine. State the kind of reaction.arrow_forwardwhat is the chemical form of Lynestrenol and what is the salts of it and what is the specifity of ionisable group and what the group that impact its physicochemical properties ? with illustrationarrow_forwardTriphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solutionresults. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears.Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.1arrow_forward
- Outline the theoretically possible stereochemical outcomes of reduction of benzil. Describe isomers of hydrobenzoin and stereochemical relationships between them.arrow_forwardCompound A is a branched-chain alcohol that undergoes oxidation to produce compound B. Compound B is a ketone that gives positive triiodomethane reaction. Compound B is then reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide, C6H5MgBr in the presence of aqueous acid to form compound C. Compound C has the molecular formula of C11H16O (i) Deduce the structure for compound A, B and C. (ii) State the observation when compound C is added with acidified potassium dichromate(VI).arrow_forwardDescribe the following giving the relevant chemical equation in each case :(i) Carbylamine reaction(ii) Hofmann’s bromamide reactionarrow_forward
- (a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Benzoic acid and Phenol (ii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone(b) An organic compound with molecular formula C5H10O does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Identify the compound and write all chemical equations for the reactions.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of sodium tetradecyl sulfate and ciprofloxacin and state how the activity of the drug is influenced by alkane groupings.arrow_forwardIf a quaternary ammonium ion can undergo an elimination reaction with a strong base, why can’t a protonated tertiary amine undergo the same reaction?arrow_forward
- Although ibuprofen is sold as a racemic mixture, only the S enantiomer acts as an analgesic. In the body, however, some of the R enantiomer is converted to the S isomer by tautomerization to an enol and then protonation to regenerate the carbonyl compound. Write a stepwise mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardA student was trying to determine the identity of an unknown compound. The melting point of the compound was 117-118oC. The student narrowed the possible compound down to the following: Compound Melting Point Range acetanilide 113-115oC fluorene 114-116oC mandelic acid 120-122oC Explain in detail how the student can experimentally determine and confirm the identity of their unknown.arrow_forward
