Interpretation:
The correct structures to the three isomeric tribromobenzene should be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The electrophilic aromatic substitution is the type of reaction in which an electrophile substitutes the hydrogen atom of the
The nitration takes place in the presence of nitric acid and sulphuric acid. In this reaction, the protonation of nitric acid occurs in order to produce the nitronium ion.
The activating groups are the groups that have the ability to donate the electron density to the benzene ring. The deactivating groups are the groups that have the ability to withdraw the electron density to the benzene ring. The ortho and para directing groups are the activating groups while meta directing groups are deactivating groups.

- (c) There is one (1) other positional isomer of X missing for reaction II. Draw the structural formula of this isomer.arrow_forwardIf 2,2‑dimethylbutane were subjected to such a reaction, how many different compounds (ignoring optical isomers) would be obtained?arrow_forwardCompounds X and Y both have the formula C7H₁4. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y. Both X and Y react with HCI to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product. What is the structure of X? • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. 23 ▾ Sn [F ChemDoodleⓇ 146arrow_forward

- Do cyclic compounds have (E)/(Z) nomenclature? Would both double bonds in this case be subject to (E)/(Z) nomenclature?arrow_forward"A research team synthesizes a novel organic compound 'X' with the molecular formula C5H8O2. When 'X' is treated with a deuterated acid (D2O), a single deuterium atom replaces a hydrogen atom, forming compound 'Y' (C5H7DO2). 'X' does not react with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) but does react with both Tollens' reagent and Benedict's solution, forming a silver mirror and a red precipitate, respectively. Furthermore, 'X' undergoes catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, consuming one mole of hydrogen to form a compound 'Z' (C5H10O2). Based on these observations, what is the most likely structure of compound 'X'?" A. Methyl vinyl ketone B. 3-Buten-2-one C.
