Chapter 12: Q35d E (page 385)

At what approximate positions might the following compounds show

IR absorptions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

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

Step by step solution

01

Step 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

(c)

(d) Absorption of ester at 1735 cm-1

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

The infrared spectrum of the compound with the mass spectrum shown below has strong absorbances at 1584, 1478, and 1446 cm-1 . Propose a

structure consistent with the data.


Draw the structure of an alkene that yields only acetone, (CH3)2C=O, on ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn.

Question: 4-Methyl-2-pentanone and 3-methylpentanal are isomers. Explain how you could tell them apart, both by mass spectrometry and by infrared spectroscopy.

The heat of hydrogenation for allene (Problem 7-61) to yield propane is -295 kJ/mol, and the heat of hydrogenation for a typical monosubstituted alkene, such as propene, is -125 kJ/mol. Is allene more stable or less stable than you might expect for a diene? Explain.

Most stable organic species have tetravalent carbon atoms, but species with trivalent carbon atoms also exist. Carbocations are one such class of compounds.

(a) How many valence electrons does the positively charged carbon atom have?

(b) What hybridization do you expect this carbon atom to have?

(c) What geometry is the carbocation likely to have?
