Title: Organic Chem Question Post by: livestrong136 on Apr 4, 2013 Sorry I really wanted to type but because of the diagram. I attached it.
Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: bio_man on Apr 4, 2013 All I know is ii) because all aromatic compounds are based on benzene, C6H6, which has a ring of six carbon atoms. That said, it should be (B).
Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: ziadelhussein on Apr 5, 2013 i)
a. Carbonyl (C double bond O) b. Carboxyl (C double bond O and bond OH) and Ether (R-O-R') c. Carboxyl d. Hydroxyl (OH) e. Amine (-NH2) and Carboxyl f. Ester iv) Molecular formula of d: C6H5OH or, having 6 carbons, 6 hydrogens and an oxygen v) Molecular formula of c: C6H10O2 or, having 6 carbons, 10 hydrogens and 2 oxygens Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: bio_man on Apr 5, 2013 @ziadelhussein, we need more chemistry people like yourself!
Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: ziadelhussein on Apr 5, 2013 Haha thanks!
Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: livestrong136 on Apr 7, 2013 Thnx alot guys. Thumps up. any help with (iii)
Title: Re: Organic Chem Question Post by: ziadelhussein on Apr 7, 2013 Optical isomers are Enantiomers. An Enantiomer is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superposable (not identical). For example, your left and right hands are the same except for opposite orientation. For this to happen, there should be a chiral center, a carbon bonded to 4 different groups.
This being said, b, c, and e have chiral centers. |
