- 5. (a) Compound A with molecular formula C7H8 is produced when benzene reacts with chloromethane in AICI3. When A is treated with acidic KMNO4 solution, compound B is formed. When A is treated with conc. HN0; in conc. H2SO4, a yellowish oil solution, C is formed. Draw the molecular structure of A, B and C and write an equation for the formation of A from benzene.arrow_forwarda) When (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation, two isomeric products are formed. Give their structures, and label each asymmetric carbon atom as (R) or (S). What is the relationship between these isomers?arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution: (a) C6H6, C6H5Cl, C6H5CHO; (b) C6H5CH3, C6H5NH2, C6H5CH2NH2.arrow_forward
- Biphenyl has the following structure.(a) Is biphenyl a (fused) polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon?(b) How many pi electrons are there in the two aromatic rings of biphenyl? How does this number compare with that for naphthalene?(c) The heat of hydrogenation for biphenyl is about 418 kJ>mol (100 kcal>mol). Calculate theresonance energy of biphenyl.(d) Compare the resonance energy of biphenyl with that of naphthalene and with that of two benzene rings. Explain thedifference in the resonance energies of naphthalene and biphenyl.arrow_forwardGive reasons for the following: (i) p-nitrophenol is more acidic than p-methylphenol. (ii) Bond length of C—O bond in phenol is shorter than that in methanol. (iii) (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with sodium methoxide (Na+ _OCH3) gives alkene as the main product and not an ether.arrow_forwardOne of the principal components of lemongrass oil is limonene, C10H16. When limoneneis treated with excess hydrogen and a platinum catalyst, the product is an alkane offormula C10H20. What can you conclude about the structure of limonene?arrow_forward
- Calculate the units of unsaturation of C6H7NO. And draw out the structure.arrow_forward(a) Account for the following :(i) Electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly.(ii) Haloalkanes, though polar, are insoluble in water.(b) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of reactivity towards SN2 displacement:2-Bromo-2-Methylbutane, 1-Bromopentane, 2-Bromopentanearrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octetarrow_forward
