Chapter 2, Problem 2.39AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the bond length and bond angle for compound A are larger is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Newman projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the C-C bonds. This is used to determine the interaction between the groups attached to carbon atoms and the dihedral angle. The front carbon atom in the Newman projection is represented by the dot and the end on carbon atom is represented by the circle. The groups attached to the carbon atoms are then drawn by the line.

The energy of the conformers varies with change in their dihedral angle. The plot of this variation is known as potential energy curve.

b) i) Draw the different structural isomers of the 6-membered ring compound [GAAIBNPAS]H6 in which there are alternating Group 13 and 15 elements. ii) The isomers containing both B-N and AI-N bonding are the most stable. Explain why this is the case. ii) How would you expect the structure and reactivity of the heterocycles [GAAIBNPAS]H6 to compare with borazine? iv) While borazine exists as a planar ring compound, the [GAAIBNPAS]H6 ring compounds dimerize. Explain these observations. H -ЕН -E H-E НЕ ЕН E НЕ- ЕН H `E H. H É-H НЕ E = Heteroatom エー山、 w-I
Compound A (C5H8) readily reacts with bromine (Br2) at room temperature to discharge the purple colour of bromine and form Compound B ‍‍(C5H8Br2). When Compound A is treated with H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, it is converted to compound C ‍(C5H10). When treated with HCl, compound A is converted to compound D (C5H9Cl)‍‍. B, Cand D are saturated compounds. Given this information, propose structural formulas for compounds A, B, C, and D.
When the reagent, Br2 in CCI4, (reddish-brown color), was added to Compound A of molecular formula C9H16, the reddish-brown color of the reagent changed to colorless, after the mixture was shaken. One mole of Compound A reacted with 1 mole of Hydrogen gas in the presence of Nickel catalyst to form a Compound B of molecular formula, C9H18. When the reagent, Br2 in CCI4, (reddish-brown color), was added to Compound B of molecular formula C9H18, the reddish-brown color of the reagent changed to colorless, after the mixture was shaken. Provide two possible structural formulas and corresponding IUPAC names of Compound A that will satisfy the above information. Provide a brief explanation for your answers:
