Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why
Concept introduction:
Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share a common carbon atom. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond. Stereoisomers are divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers. The compounds that are superimposable mirror image of each other are known as enantiomers. The compounds that are non-mirror images or not identical to each other are known as diastereomers.

- (a) Cyclohexa-1,3-diene can be converted into a tetrasubstituted haloalkane when reacted with bromine in ether. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs and state the expected observation. (b) Compound A and B are alkenes with the same molecular formula C5H10. Compound A is a branched-chain alkene while compound B is a straight-chain alkene. The reaction between compound A with hydrogen bromide produces major product C which is optically active. (i) Draw TWO (2) possible structures for compound B. (ii) Outline the mechanism for the reaction between compound A with hydrogen bromide to form major product C. (iii) Name the product formed when compound A undergoes bromination reaction.arrow_forward(a) Explain how pyrrole is isoelectronic with the cyclopentadienyl anion.(b) Specifically, what is the difference between the cyclopentadienyl anion and pyrrole?(c) Draw resonance forms to show the charge distribution on the pyrrole structure.arrow_forward(a) Write the structures of the following compounds and mark them as chiral or achiral. 4 (i) 2-Bromopentane (ii) 3-Bromopentane (iii) 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (iv) 2-Chloro-3-methylbutane (b) Identify the asymmetric carbon in the chiral compounds.

- Explain why :(a) The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride.(b) Alkyl halides, though polar, are immiscible with water.arrow_forwardGive reasons: (i) C—Cl bond length in chlorobenzene is shorter than C—Cl bond length in CH3—Cl.(ii) The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride.(iii) SN1 reactions are accompanied by racemization in optically active alkyl halidesarrow_forward(a) What would be the frequencies of the two absorption bands expected to be most prominent in the infrared spectrum of 4-hydroxycycloheptanone (C)? (b) In reality, the lower frequency band of these two is very weak. Draw the structure of an isomer that would exist in equilibrium with C and that explains this observation.arrow_forward
- Give reasons: (a) n-Butyl bromide has higher boiling point than f-butyl bromide. (b) Racemic mixture is optically inactive. (c) The presence of nitro group (-N02) at o/p positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactionsarrow_forward(a) The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane in the presence of AlCl3 occurs with a carbocation rearrangement.
