Short Answer

Expert verified
Question: Determine the carboxylic acid and alcohol for each ester provided. (a) Ester: COC(=O)C1CCCCC1 Carboxylic acid: Cyclohexane carboxylic acid Alcohol: Methanol (b) Ester: CC(=O)OC1CCC(OC(C)=O)CC1 Carboxylic acids: Ethanoic acid and Propanoic acid Alcohol: 4-oxopentyl alcohol (c) Ester: CCC=CC(=O)OC(C)C Carboxylic acid: Trans-but-2-enoic acid Alcohol: 2-butanol (d) Ester: CCOC(=O)CCC(=O)OCC Carboxylic acid: Butanoic acid Alcohol: Ethyl ethanoate

Step by step solution

01

(a) Identify RCOO and OR' groups

For the ester with the SMILES notation COC(=O)C1CCCCC1, first find the ester functional group, which is the C(=O)O part. The two groups attached to this functional group are: 1. RCOO group: C(=O)C1CCCCC1 2. OR' group: OC
02

(a) Name the carboxylic acid and alcohol

Based on the identified groups, the carboxylic acid is cyclohexane carboxylic acid, and the alcohol is methanol.
03

(b) Identify RCOO and OR' groups

For the ester with the SMILES notation CC(=O)OC1CCC(OC(C)=O)CC1, we identify the ester functional groups as C(=O)O and OC(=O)C. The two groups attached to these functional groups are: 1. RCOO group: C(=O)C and OC(=O)C 2. OR' group: OC1CCC(OR)CC1
04

(b) Name the carboxylic acid and alcohol

Based on the identified groups, the carboxylic acids are ethanoic acid and propanoic acid, and the alcohol is 4-oxopentyl alcohol.
05

(c) Identify RCOO and OR' groups

For the ester with the SMILES notation CCC=CC(=O)OC(C)C, the two groups attached to the ester functional group C(=O)O are: 1. RCOO group: CC(=O)C=CC 2. OR' group: OC(C)C
06

(c) Name the carboxylic acid and alcohol

Based on the identified groups, the carboxylic acid is trans-but-2-enoic acid, and the alcohol is 2-butanol.
07

(d) Identify RCOO and OR' groups

For the ester with the SMILES notation CCOC(=O)CCC(=O)OCC, we identify the R and R' groups attached to the ester functional group C(=O)O as: 1. RCOO group: CCC(=O)O 2. OR' group: OC(=O)CCC
08

(d) Name the carboxylic acid and alcohol

Based on the identified groups, the carboxylic acid is butanoic acid, and the alcohol is ethyl ethanoate.

On a cyclohexane ring, an axial carboxyl group has a conformational energy of \(5.9 \mathrm{~kJ}\) (1.4 kcal)/mol relative to an equatorial carboxyl group. Consider the equilibrium for the alternative chair conformations of trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid. Draw the less stable chair conformation on the left of the equilibrium arrows and the more stable chair on the right. Calculate \(\Delta G^{0}\) for the equilibrium as written, and calculate the ratio of the more stable chair to the less stable chair at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

The \(K_{a 1}\) of ascorbic acid is \(7.94 \times 10^{-5}\). Would you expect ascorbic acid dissolved in blood plasma (pH 7.35-7.45) to exist primarily as ascorbic acid or as ascorbate anion? Explain.
