Identifiers structural drawings

Since nucleophilic atoms have nonbonding electrons they can be identified by inspection of Lewis structures. Draw Lewis structures of triraethylamine, methyl fluoride, and phenol. Draw all nonbonding electron pairs and identify all nucleophilic atoms. 

Try drawing alternative model diagrams to identify structural uncertainties. 

Acetylcholine neuromodulatory system. The neurons that synthesize acetylcholine (molecular formula in box) are located in the pontine brainstem and basal forebrain. The brainstem nuclei (called Ch.5 and 6 in Mesulam s nomenclature) project locally and forward into the thalamus, subthalamus, basal forebrain, and limbic system. The basal forebrain nuclei (Ch.1-4) project to the cerebral cortex and limbic system. Compare with figure 2.1 to identify structures shown. In this and the following three drawings, the very extensive and complex projections to the cerebral cortex are not shown. 

Figure 5.22. The structure of Ba3SrTa2C>9. The packing layers are identified. The drawing at the left shows the positions of atoms in the vertical plane at the center of the drawing to the right.

Recognize chiral structures, draw their mirror images, and identify features that may suggest chirality. 

If a structure has passed all the requirements thus far, one needs to determine if it can be derived from a plausible synthetic route. In other words, is it consistent with the reaction pathway and chemical entities present in the reaction vessel If additional structural information is required, it is necessary at this point to identify appropriate follow-up experiments. For example, if the stereochemistry at a chiral center is critical to the understanding of the system, nOe experiments may be useful to investigate spatial relationships. To improve the confidence level in a proposed structure, it may be necessary to synthesize the proposed structure using a well-established synthetic route and then repeat the NMR characterization on the synthesized compound. Comparing the proton and carbon spectra of the unknown with the known compound should confirm consistency of structure. Finally, the team should draw conclusions based on the identified structure, plausible synthetic routes, and ways to prevent its formation. 

Working examples take the familiar form of standard operating procedures that a chemist records in a scientific notebook as he carries out chemical reactions. They state concisely which compounds of the invention arise from these reactions. The accompmying list of compounds gives their complete chemical names or sometimes structural drawings. It identifies the compounds, which in either case can be recognized by the physical property or properties that the example furnishes. 

Analyze and Conclude One of the molecules from this lab undergoes resonance. Identify the molecule that has three resonance structures, draw the structures, and explain why resonance occurs. 

A molecule editor can draw a chemical structure and save it, for example as a Molfile. Although it is possible to include stereochemical properties in the drawing as wedges and hashed bonds, or even to assign a stereocenter/stereogroup with its identifiers R/S or E/Z), the connection table of the Molfile only represents the constitution (topology) of the molecule. 

Thus, if the user wants to look for literature including requested chemicals or reactions, it is possible to query the database by the first option Chemical Substance or Reaction , The compound can be entered as a query in three different ways drawing the chemical structure in a molecule editor (Chemical Structure) searching by names or identification number, such as the CAS Number (Structure Identifier) and searching by molecular formula (Figure 5-12). 

The results in table 2.6 show that the rates of reaction of compounds such as phenol and i-napthol are equal to the encounter rate. This observation is noteworthy because it shows that despite their potentially very high reactivity these compounds do not draw into reaction other electrophiles, and the nitronium ion remains solely effective. These particular instances illustrate an important general principle if by increasing the reactivity of the aromatic reactant in a substitution reaction, a plateau in rate constant for the reaction is achieved which can be identified as the rate constant for encounter of the reacting species, and if further structural modifications of the aromatic in the direction of further increasing its potential reactivity ultimately raise the rate constant above this plateau, then the incursion of a new electrophile must be admitted. 

In order to predict the structure of the product, you must identify the factors that will tend to favor selective ketal formation. Consider selective carbonyl protonation first. Obtain energies and atomic charges, and display electrostatic potential maps of the alternative protonated ketones (protonated ketone A, protonated ketone B). Identify the more stable isomer. Compare geometries and draw whatever Lewis structures are needed to account for your data. Why is one isomer more stable than the other Is the more stable isomer also that in which the positive charge is better delocalized Will the more stable isomer undergo nucleophilic attack more or less easily than the other Explain. 

Identify the functional groups in the following model of arecoiine, a veterinary drug used to control worms in animals. Convert the drawing into a line-bond structure and a molecular formula (red = O, blue = N). 

Draw a skeletal structure of the following carbocation. Identify it as primary, secondary, or tertiary, and identify the hydrogen atoms that have the proper orienta- tion for hyperconjugation in the conformation shown. 

Look up the structure of D-talose in Figure 25.3, and draw the fi anomer in its pyranose form. Identify the ring substituents as axial or equatorial. 

The first diazonium-salt-crown-ether adduct was isolated and identified as a 1 1 complex by Haymore et al. (1975). Unfortunately Haymore never published the X-ray structural analysis of benzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate with 18-crown-6 which he performed in 1980. ORTEP drawings with measured bond angles and lengths from Haymore s investigation can be found in a review chapter by Bartsch (1983, p. 893). A few data from Haymore s work (e.g., R = 0.064) were also mentioned by Cram and Doxsee (1986, footnote 7). Groth (1981) published the results of his X-ray investigation of 4-methoxybenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and 21-crown-7 (R = 0.042) and Xu et al. (1986) those of 4-methoxybenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and dibenzo-24-crown-8 (R = 0.086). 

STRATEGY For the electron arrangement, draw the Fewis structure and then use the VSEPR model to decide how the bonding pairs and lone pairs are arranged around the central (nitrogen) atom (consult Fig. 3.2 if necessary). Identify the molecular shape from the layout of atoms, as in Fig. 3.1. 

Consider the bonding in CH2=CHCHO. (a) Draw the most important Lewis structure. Include all nonzero formal charges, (b) Identify the composition of the bonds and the hybridization of each lone pair—for example, by writing o(H ls,C2s/ 2).
