Chapter 12: Q12-35d E (page 385)

At what approximate positions might the following compounds showIR absorptions?

(d)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(d) It shows one distinguishing absorption due to ester at 1735cm−1.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-step SolutionStep 1:IR absorption

In general, IR absorption are caused by the interaction between the IR electric field vector and molecular dipole transition related to the molecular vibrations. Absorption is at maximum when the electric field vector and dipole transition moment are parallel to each other.

02

Identify the functional group

Functional groups are groups of one or more atoms with distinctive chemical properties regardless of what is attached to them.

The atoms of functional group are bound by covalent bonds with one another and with rest of the molecule.

The functional group in compound (d) is ester only.

03

Position at which compound show IR absorptions

(d)

Given compound

(d) Absorption of ester at 1735cm−1.

It shows one distinguishing absorption due to ester at 1735cm−1.

Predict the products for the reactions in Problem 8-26 if each were run in DMSO with water. Show the complete mechanism including appropriate regiochemistry and stereochemistry.

Phenol,C6H5OH, is a stronger acid than methanol, CH3OH, even though both contain an OH bond. Draw the structures of the anions resulting from loss of H+from phenol and methanol, and use resonance structures to explain the difference in acidity.
