Chapter 15: Q15-1P (page 455)

Tell whether the following compounds are ortho-, meta-, or para-disubstituted:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The name of the compounds are stated below

  1. meta-chloro toluene
  2. para-nitro chloro benzene
  3. ortho sulphonyl phenol

Step by step solution

01

Determination of ortho-, meta-, Para position

The position of substituents can be described with respect to the X group can be termed as ortho, meta, para according to the attachment of a functional group.

02

Name of given benzene substitution compound for part (a)

As we can see in the benzene ring two substituents are attached one is chlorine

(Cl) and another one is the methyl group (CH3).

The Position of Chlorine with respect to methyl group is meta.

Hence the name of the compound is meta-chloro toluene.

03

Name of given benzene substitution compound for part (b)

In the benzene ring, two substituents are attached first one is bromine (Br) and the second one is a nitro group (NO2).

The Position of bromine with respect to a nitro group is para.

Hence the name of the compound is para-nitro Chlorobenzene

04

Name of given benzene substitution compound for part (c)

As we can see in the benzene ring two substituents are attached one is a hydroxyl group (OH) and another one is the sulphonyl group (SO3H).

The Position of the sulphonyl group with respect to the hydroxyl group is ortho.

Hence, the name of the compound is Ortho sulphonyl phenol.

In 1932, A. A. Levine and A. G. Cole studied the ozonolysis of o-xylene and isolated three products: glyoxal, 2,3-butanedione, and pyruvaldehyde:

In what ratio would you expect the three products to be formed if o-xylene is a resonance hybrid of two structures? The actual ratio found was 3 parts glyoxal, 1 part 2,3-butanedione, and 2 parts pyruvaldehyde. What conclusions can you draw about the structure of o-xylene?

1,6-Methanonaphthalene has an interesting 1H NMR spectrum in which the eight hydrogens around the perimeter absorb at 6.9 to 7.3 d, while the two protons absorb at 20.5δ. Tell whether it is aromatic, and explain its NMR spectrum.

Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names:
