- Draw as many compounds as you can that fit the following descriptions:arrow_forwardDraw the structure of an alkane with molecular formula C7H16 that contains (a) one 4° carbon; (b) only 1° and 2° carbons; (c) 1°, 2°, and 3° hydrogens.arrow_forwardDraw structural formulas for the following the compounds: (a) Cis-1,3-diphenylcyclohexane (b) 5-phenylpentanoic acid (c) 3,4-dibromo-N,N-dimethylanilinearrow_forward
- What is the degree of unsaturation for C6H8? Draw two possible structures.arrow_forward(a) Describe the molecular geometry expected for 1,2,3-butatriene (H2C=C=C=CH2). (b) Two stereoisomers are expected for 2,3,4-hexatriene (CH3CH=C=C=CHCH3). What should be the relationship between these two stereoisomers?arrow_forwardParrow_forward
- a-Linolenic acid ((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoic acid; ALA)) is a poly-unsaturated, w-3 fatty acid with 18 carbons found in many food sources. Since humans cannot synthesize fats with double bonds past carbon #9, it is "essential" and must be obtained from the diet. Hope you like salmon! If a serving of salmon contains 500.0 mg of ALA and all of it is completely oxidized via B-oxidation and the TCA, how many grams of water at room temperature can be brought to a boil using that energy? (Specific heat of water: 4.184 J/mol; heat of vaporization of water: 40.65 kJ/mol; molar mass of ATP: 507.2 g/mol; DG° of ATP hydrolysis = -30.3 kJ/mol)arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the following molecules: (a) m-isobutylaniline (b) (S)-2-sec-butyl-2-cyclohexene-1-ol (c) (Z)-3,4-difluoro-3-hexenearrow_forwardEleostearic acid, C18H30O2, is a rare fatty acid found in the tung oil used for finishing furniture. On ozonolysis followed by treatment with zinc, eleostearic acid furnishes one part pentanal, two parts glyoxal (OHC-CHO), and one part 9-oxononanoic acid [OHC(CH2)7CO2H]. What is the structure of eleostearic acid?arrow_forward
- (a) Chromic acid oxidation of 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene yielded a single compound having the molecular formula C12H14O4. What was this compound?(b) What product is expected from chromic acid oxidation of 2,3-dihydroindene?arrow_forwardDHA is a fatty acid derived from sh oil and an abundant fatty acid in vertebrate brains. Hydrogenation of DHA forms docosanoic acid [CH3(CH2)20CO2H] and ozonolysis forms CH3CH2CHO, CH2(CHO)2 (ve equivalents), and HCOCH2CH2CO2H. What is the structure of DHA if all double bonds have the Z conguration?arrow_forward18. The addition of H20 to ethene yields a molecule called: (a) ethanol (b) ethane (c) ethyne (d) ethylene glycolarrow_forward
