Draw the structure of an alkane or cycloalkane that has more than three but fewer than ten carbon atoms, and only primary hydrog
ens. (There are several possible structures. It is enough to draw any one of them, but you may draw two or more if you want to.)
1 answer:
Answer:
The structures are shown in the figure.
Explanation:
The primary hydrogens are those which are attached to primary carbon.
Primary carbons are the carbons which are attached to only one carbon.
Primary carbons is bonded to three hydrogens.
In order to draw such structure we will draw structures which will have carbon with three hydrogens or no hydrogens (quaternary)
The structures are shown in the figure with clear marking.

Answer:
As the molecular mass of given amine is 163 g/mol (a odd number) it means that this compound contains a odd number of Nitrogen atoms. We will first apply Rule of Thirteen to get the molecular formula.
Rule of Thirteen:
First divide the parent peak value by 13 as,
= 163 ÷ 13
= 12.53
Now, multiply 13 by 12,
= 13 × 12 (here, 12 specifies number of carbon atoms)
= 156
Now subtract 156 from 163,
= 163 - 156
= 7
Add 7 into 12,
= 7 + 12
= 19 (hydrogen atoms)
So, the rough formula we have is,
C₁₂H₁₉
Now, add one Nitrogen atom to above formula and subtract one Carbon and 2 Hydrogen atoms as these numbers are equal to atomic mass of Nitrogen atom as,
C₁₂H₁₉ -------N--------> C₁₁H₁₇N
Also, as shown in ¹³C-NMR there is one peak around 180 ppm and the peak at 1661 cm⁻¹ in IR spectrum is characteristic to carbonyl group hence, we will add one oxygen atom to the chemical formula accordingly. i.e.
C₁₁H₁₇N -------O--------> C₁₀H₁₃NO
Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₃NO
Also,
In NMR the the four peaks around 120 ppm are assigned to a mono substituted benzene ring.
The absence of IR peak above 3200 cm⁻³ also confirms that the amine is tertiary in nature and there is no hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom.
It can be observed that the peaks in upfield are duplicating. This can be due to the presence of rotamers of said compound.
The most plausible structure for given data is shown below, and the resonance structure along with rotamers are also shown.
