Question


For each pair of compounds circle the compound which has the greater wave number for the indicated bond. H-F and H-CL Select the compound responsible for the following C-13 NMR spectrum. Assume the R groups are identical and not observed in the C-13 spectrum Which of the following are optically active? 3-methyl-3-pentanol recenic benzamin none of these Select the favored dehrydration product of the following reaction The reaction of an enantiomerically pure compound with a racemic mixture gives products that are identical enatiomers diastereomers not isomers

Explanation / Answer

(13) C is correct. the 2 C-atoms attached to R groups form one group while the remaining 4 form the other group. Thus this compound will give 2 signals.

(14) D is correct because none of the above compounds are optically active. Meso tartaric acid has a plane of symmetry, while 3-methyl-3-pentanol doesnt; have any chiral centre.

(15) B is correct, because it is the most substituted alkene and according to Zaitsev's rule it is the favored product

(16) C is correct, because this is a general separation technique in which a racemic mixturee is treated with an enantiomerically pure compound, and the result is that the enantiomers of the racemic mixture get converted to diastereomers which can then be easily separated.
