Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Mechanism of the reaction should be identified by curved arrow pattern.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Electrophiles are neutral or positively charged species, having vacant orbitals and attracted electron towards itself.
Substitution reaction: During a
Electrophilic substitution reactions: an electrophile replaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom.
Electrophilic
Carbocation: carbon atom bears positive charged species with three bonds is called Carbocation and it plays vital intermediate in

- Compounds A and B are isomers of the molecular formula C9H19Br. Both yield the same alkene C in an elimination reaction. Hydrogenation of C yields the product 2,3,3,4 tetramethyl pentane. What are the structures of A, B, and C?arrow_forwardPropene undergoes a hydration reaction with water in the presence of an acid. a. There are two possible products for this reaction, both with the formula C3H8O. Show their structural formulas and names. b. Which of the two products do you predict will form. Explainarrow_forwardGlucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forward
- The sex attractant of the female tiger moth is an alkane of molecular formula C 18H 38. Is this molecule an acyclic alkane or a cycloalkane?arrow_forwardOne mole of an unknown hydrocarbon, compound C, in the presence of a platinum catalyst, adds 98.9 L of hydrogen, measured at 744 mm Hg and 22 degrees C , to form a saturated alkane which contains one ring. When one mole of compound C is reacted with ozone, followed by reduction with (CH3)2S , four moles of only one product was formed, whose condensed molecular formula is CHO -CHO. Give the structure of compound C. Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardUsing condensed structural formulas, write a balancedchemical equation for each of the following reactions:(a) hydrogenation of cyclohexene, (b) addition of H2O totrans-2-pentene using H2SO4 as a catalyst (two products),(c) reaction of 2-chloropropane with benzene in the presenceof AlCl3.arrow_forward
- If you used a bromine test to distinguish between hexane and 2-hexene, in which the red color of bromine persist?arrow_forwardWhich of the following structural features could be found in a compound with formula C7H12?arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon Q has a formula C6H12. Q Reacts with osmium tetroxide to give a diol R. When oxidized with KMnO4 in an acidic medium, Q gives two products. One product is propanoic acid and the other a ketone S. Provide reaction equations to identify the possible structures of Q, R and S.arrow_forward
- Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomersarrow_forwardName all unbranched ether and alcohol isomers with formula C5H12O, and write their structural formulas.arrow_forwardDetermine the DOU for the following molecules and suggest a structure for each.
