Treatment of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound C18H29BrO in quantitative yield. The

infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm^-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets), at δ 1.2, 1.3, and 6.9, in the ratio 9:18:2. What is a reasonable structure for the compound?

Answer:

2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone

Explanation:

1. Information from the formulas

C₁₈H₃₀O ⟶ C₁₈H₂₉BrO

A Br has replaced an H.

2. Information from the reaction

These look like the conditions for an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

3. Possible mechanism (Fig. 1)

The product must be highly symmetrical, because there are so few NMR signals.

(i) The bromonium ion attacks at the para position, forming a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate.

(ii) A bromide ion attacks the H of the hydroxyl group to form 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

4. Confirmatory evidence (Fig. 2)

(a) Infrared  

1630 cm⁻¹:  C=O stretch

1655 cm⁻¹ : C=C stretch

(b)NMR

1.2 (9h, s):    the 4-tert-butyl group

1.3 (18H, s): the 2- and 6- tert- butyl groups

6.9 (2H, s):    the alkene H atoms

The ratio is 9:18:2.

9.86 x 10²⁸ O-atoms require what volume (L) N₂O₂ at STP?
jolli1 [7]
First, we use avogadro's number to convert atoms into moles. Then, relate the number of moles from elemental to the compound. Lastly, we use conditions at STP to calculate the volume. We do as follows:

<span>9.86 x 10²⁸ O-atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms O) ( 1 mol N2O2 / 2 mol O ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 1833809.37 L needed</span>

Gas is heated from 480. K to 750. K and the pressure is kept constant, what final volume would result if the original volume was
attashe74 [19]
Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to temperature
Therefore
V/ T = k
Where V - volume T - temperature in kelvin and k - constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
Substituting the values in the equation
267 L/ 480 K = V / 750 K
V = 417 L
Final volume is 417 L

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.
Leya [2.2K]
Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
83.3*0.62
=51.646 miles

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

51.646/60
=0.860766667

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.
