Chapter 3: Q. 38P (page 189)

Write structures for a homologous series of alkyl chloridesR-Cl having from one to six carbons.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The structures of homologous series of alkyl chloride from one to six carbon are

Step by step solution

01

Alkyl halide

An alkyl halide group is attained by removing one hydrogen atom from an alkane and incorporating a halogen atom. Therefore, the general formula of the homologous series for alkyl halides is CnH2n+1X (where X is halogen atom)

02

Structure of alkyl chloride

Since in question it is asked for structures of alkyl chloride having one to six carbon atom, for this put the value of n=1 to 6 in above generalformula and value of X=Cl.

03

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=1

For n=1 and X=Cl; CH3Cl

04

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=2

For n=2 and X=Cl; CH3CH2Cl

05

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=3

For n=3 and X=Cl; CH3CH2CH2Cl

06

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=4

For n=4 and X=Cl; CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl

07

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=5

For n=5 and X=Cl; CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2Cl

08

Structure of alkyl chloride for n=6

For n=6 and X=Cl; CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2Cl

Question: Convert each Newman projection to the equivalent line-angle formula, and assign the IUPAC name.

trans - 1,2 - dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than cis - 1,2 -dimethylcyclobutane, but cis - 1,3 - dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than trans - 1,3 - dimethylcyclobutane. Use drawings to explain these observations.
