Compounds given

HMO theory is named after its developer, Erich Huckel (1896-1980), who published his theory in 1930 [9] partly in order to explain the unusual stability of benzene and other aromatic compounds. Given that digital computers had not yet been invented and that all Hiickel s calculations had to be done by hand, HMO theory necessarily includes many approximations. The first is that only the jr-molecular orbitals of the molecule are considered. This implies that the entire molecular structure is planar (because then a plane of symmetry separates the r-orbitals, which are antisymmetric with respect to this plane, from all others). It also means that only one atomic orbital must be considered for each atom in the r-system (the p-orbital that is antisymmetric with respect to the plane of the molecule) and none at all for atoms (such as hydrogen) that are not involved in the r-system. Huckel then used the technique known as linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) to build these atomic orbitals up into molecular orbitals. This is illustrated in Figure 7-18 for ethylene.

The special cases 2-Le-3-aza, 4-Le-8-aza, and 4-Le-5-aza are apparent from a glance at the names of the polyaza compounds given to them by the activation-numbering system. 

Methylsulfinyl carbanion (dimsyl ion) is prepared from 0.10 mole of sodium hydride in 50 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide under a nitrogen atmosphere as described in Chapter 10, Section III. The solution is diluted by the addition of 50 ml of dry THF and a small amount (1-10 mg) of triphenylmethane is added to act as an indicator. (The red color produced by triphenylmethyl carbanion is discharged when the dimsylsodium is consumed.) Acetylene (purified as described in Chapter 14, Section I) is introduced into the system with stirring through a gas inlet tube until the formation of sodium acetylide is complete, as indicated by disappearance of the red color. The gas inlet tube is replaced by a dropping funnel and a solution of 0.10 mole of the substrate in 20 ml of dry THF is added with stirring at room temperature over a period of about 1 hour. In the case of ethynylation of carbonyl compounds (given below), the solution is then cautiously treated with 6 g (0.11 mole) of ammonium chloride. The reaction mixture is then diluted with 500 ml of water, and the aqueous solution is extracted three times with 150-ml portions of ether. The ether solution is dried (sodium sulfate), the ether is removed (rotary evaporator), and the residue is fractionally distilled under reduced pressure to yield the ethynyl alcohol. 

The most complex problem of this type requires you to determine the simplest formula of a compound given only the raw data obtained from its analysis. Here, an additional step is involved you have to determine the masses of the elements present in a fixed mass of the compound (Example 3.6). 

The reverse of Example 16.4 involves finding Rq, of a compound given its solubility. The solubilities of many ionic compounds are determined experimentally and tabulated in chemical handbooks. Most solubility values are given in grams of solute dissolved in 100 grams of water. To obtain the molar solubility in moles/L, we have to assume that the density of the solution is equal to that of water. Then the number of grams of solute per 100 g water is equal to the number of grams of solute per 100 mL of solution. This assumption is valid because the mass of the compound in solution is small. To solve for IQp, find the molar solubility of the solute and determine the concentration of its component ions. Substitute into the IQp expression.

Whilst not an exhaustive list the compounds given in Table 8.2 do represent the major classes of antioxidant. One feature that is clear from this Table is that these antioxidants tend to be effective in many different polymers. 

The mass is substantially less than the molar mass of the compound. Given that the volume is considerably less than 1 L and the target concentration is considerably less than 1 M, this is a reasonable result. 

These and similar results can be explained if the simultaneous reduction of hydrogen peroxide is due to an induced reaction. To show the characteristic features of this reaction some results are presented in Table 19 and Table 20. The procedure for these measurements was as follows. The solution of peroxy compounds given in columns 1 and 2 was made up to 20 ml and the pH was adjusted to the given value. Then potassium thiocyanate solution was added and, after the reaction time noted, the process was quenched by adding potassium iodide solution (0.3 g KI). After 5 sec the solution was acidified with 1 ml 2 iV sulphuric acid then using, molybdate catalyst solution, the iodine liberated was titrated with standard thiosulphate. 

Table 3-3, given on the next page, siunmarizes the various pairs of defects possible for binary compounds. Equilibria are given along with the appropriate equilibriiun constant. Note that these equations are rather simple and can be used to specify the equilibrium constants for these defects present in the lattice. These types of defects have been observed and studied in the compounds given under "Example in this Table. These are the major types of defects to be expected in most inorganic compounds, where the number of sites in the lattice is consteuit. 

The compounds given off during the roasting of coffee are not necessarily found in the finally roasted bean, and so only a few such compounds are included. In a list of volatile components in foods which is regularly brought up to date4 more than 800 volatile compounds are listed for coffee when it is roasted, and of these 60 to 80 contribute to coffee aroma.5 Comparison of the 14 most potent odorants from roasted Arabica and Robusta coffees, revealed significant differences,6 (see Table 2). 

All separations are based on a difference in some property. The separation of the compounds given in Table 4-1 is done by distillation. It is based on the fact that compounds with different vapor pressures will have different compositions in the vapor and liquid phases. The magnitude of this difference, and hence the ease of separation, is directly related to the difference in the vapor pressures. This can be determined from the boiling-point differences. Among the six groups of compounds... 

There is no noticeable four-bond coupling between the CF3 fluorines and the CH2 group of l,l,l-trifluoro-2-butanone, as can be seen in the H spectrum of this compound given in Fig. 5.7. 

In order to be as fully confident as possible with this compound, given the two errors already apparent, it would be advisable to check it out thoroughly with HSQC, HMBC and a ROESY. This would establish the relative positions of the ethyl ester and methyl groups. A mass spectrum might be a good idea as well ...
