Chapter 20: Q26P (page 1038)

Draw resonance forms to show how the BHA radical is stabilized by delocalization of the radical electron over other atoms in the molecule.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The resonating structures are the different structures of a single (similar) compound that show the movement of charges or electrons bringing stability to the compound.

Step by step solution

01

The Resonating structures.

The resonating structures are the different structures of a single (similar) compound that show the movement of charges or electrons bringing stability to the compound.

02

The BHA radical.

The BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) compound is;

The compound in presence of light forms a radical; as shown below.

03

The BHA radical is stabilized by delocalization of the radical electron over other atoms in the molecule.

The possible resonating structures are;

Dimethylamine(CH3) 2 NHhas a molecular weight of 45 and a boiling point of 7.40C. Trimethylamine, (CH3) 3N, has a higher molecular weight (59) but a lower boiling point(3.50C) . Explain this apparent discrepancy.

The IR, NMR, and mass spectra are provided for an organic compound.

  1. Consider each spectrum individually, and tell what characteristics of the molecule are apparent from that spectrum.
  2. Propose a structure for the compound, and show how your structure fits the spectral data.
  3. Explain why an important signal is missing from the proton NMR spectrum.
