d)

Short Answer

Expert verified

d)

1-bromo-2-propylbenzene

Step by step solution

01

What is IUPAC?

According to IUPAC (the international union of pure and applied chemistry), an organic compound in chemistry should be named after the union's standards.

02

IUPAC name of the compound

In the provided compound d, the name of the parent hydrocarbon is benzene. I am numbering the ring so that the functional group and substituent get the lowest possible number.

03

Position of functional group in compound

The bromine group is at the first carbon, and the ethyl group is at the second carbon atom. Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound d is 1-Bromo-2-propylbenzene represented as:

bromo-2-propylbenzene

Look at the five resonance structures for phenanthrene (Problem 15-26), and predict which of its carbon-carbon bonds is the shortest.

Azo dyes are the major source of artificial color in textiles and food. Part of the reason for their intense coloring is the conjugation from an electron-donating group through the diazo bridge (-N=N-)to an electron-withdrawing group on the other side. For the azo dyes below, draw a resonance form that shows how the electron-donating group is related to the electron-withdrawing group on the other side of the diazo bridge. Used curved arrows to show how the electrons are reorganized.

a.

Methyl orange

b.

C.I. Acid Red 74

The following molecular model is that of a carbocation. Draw two resonance structures for the carbocation, indicating the positions of the double bonds.

1-Phenyl-2-butene has an ultraviolet absorption λmax=208 nm(ε=8000). On treatment with a small amount of strong acid, isomerization occurs and a new substance with λmax=250 nm(ε=15,8000) is formed. Propose a structure for this isomer, and suggest a mechanism for its formation.
