Chapter 1: Q22P (page 19)

Change the following condensed structure to Kekulẻ structures:

a. CH3NH(CH2)2CH3

b.(CH3)2CHCl

c.(CH3)3CBr

d.(CH3)3C(CH2)3CHO

Short Answer

Expert verified

Organic structures are represented as structural formulas with bonds indicated by short lines. Such structural representations are known as the Kekule structures. Unlike the Lewis structure, lone pairs are omitted in the Kekule structure.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Kekule structure

Organic structures are represented as structural formulas with bonds indicated by short lines. Such structural representations are known as the Kekule structures. Unlike the Lewis structure, lone pairs are omitted in the Kekule structure.

02

Subpart (a) Drawing the Kekule structure of CH3NH(CH2)2CH3 .

From the condensed formulas, omit the lone pair of electrons that represent each bond with short straight lines, and form the respective Kekule structure.

03

Subpart (b) Drawing the Kekule structure of .(CH3)2CHCl

The Kekule structure of the given compound is shown below.

04

Subpart (c) Drawing the Kekule structure of .CH3)3CBr

The Kekule structure of the given compound is shown below.

05

Subpart (d) Drawing the Kekule structure of .(CH3)3C(CH2)3CHO

The Kekule structure of the given compound is shown below.

Imines can exist as stereoisomers. The isomers are named using the E, Z system of nomenclature (Section 4.2). The lone pair has the lowest priority.

Draw the structure of each of the following compounds:

a. the (E)-hydrazone of benzaldehyde

b. the (Z)-oxime of propiophenone

Use the symbol δ+and δ+to show the direction of polarity of the bond between carbon and oxygen.

CH3-OH

Draw condensed structures for the compounds represented by the following models
