Question

In a recent crowdsourcing project, a compound named maximiscin was isolated from a microbial isolate obtained from an Alaskan soil sample. Preliminary data showed the maximiscin is active in anti-melanoma and triple negative breast cancer assays. Determine the hydridization of the labled carbon atoms in the structure below:

A) A: sp3 B: sp3 C: sp3 D: sp3

B)  A: sp3 B: sp2 C: sp3 D: sp3

C)  A: sp2 B: sp2 C: sp3 D: sp3

D)  A: sp2 B: sp2 C: sp2 D: sp3

E)  A: sp2 B: sp3 C: sp2 D: sp3

Explanation / Answer

Single bonded Carbon is sp3 hybridized , double bonded is sp2 and triple bonded Carbon is (sp) hybridized .

So , A = sp2 , B= sp2 , C= sp3 and D = sp3 .

Hence option (C) is correct .
