- 1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forwardThe central carbon atom of an allene is a member of two double bonds, and ithas an interesting orbital arrangement that holds the two ends of the molecule at rightangles to each other.(a) Draw an orbital diagram of allene, showing why the two ends are perpendicular.(b) Draw the two enantiomers of penta-2,3-diene. A model may be helpfularrow_forwardCompare the physical properties of the three stereoisomers of 1,3-dimethylcyclopentane. a.How do the boiling points of A and B compare? What about those of A and C? b. Characterize a solution of each of the following as optically active or optically inactive: pure A; pure B; pure C; an equal mixture of A and B; an equal mixture of A and C. c.A reaction forms a 1:1:1 mixture of A, B, and C. If this mixture is distilled, how many fractions would be obtained? Which fractions would be optically active and which would be optically inactive?arrow_forward
- Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.arrow_forwardExplain why heats of hydrogenation cannot be used to determine the relative stability of 2-methylpent-2-ene and 3-methylpent-1-ene. A, B, and C, each subjected to hydrogenation. The number of rings and π bonds refers to the reactant (A, B, or C) prior to hydrogenation.arrow_forwarda. How many vinylic hydrogens does cyclopentene have? b. How many allylic hydrogens does it have?arrow_forward
- 1. Estimate the relative stabilities of the 4 conformationseclipsed and eclipsed n-pentane by drawing the corresponding Newman projections in descending order according to their stability. Place the most stable or lowest energy on the left. 2. Explain what the difference in energy between the most stable and the least stable is due to. 3. What is the difference in stability between the two staggered conformations?arrow_forwardThe LD50 (“Lethal Dose, 50 %”) is a value used in toxicology which gives the amount of a substance required to kill 50 % of a test population. It is usually reported based on body weight. For racemic carvone LD50 is reported as 1640 mg/kg. 1. Would it consider carvone to be toxic to an average person? Explain. 2. Would it be expected this the LD50 value to be the same for each enantiomer? Explain at the molecular level in stereochemical terms.arrow_forwarda. Draw three-dimensional representations for all stereoisomers of 2-chloro-3- methylpentane, and label pairs of enantiomers.b. Considering dehydrohalogenation across C2 and C3 only, draw the E2 product that results from each of these alkyl halides. How many different products have you drawn?c. How are these products related to each other?arrow_forward
