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.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6
Alexxandr [17]
Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.

H = m<span>CΔT
2501.0 = 0.158 (C) (61.0 - 32.0)

C = 545.8 J/kg</span>·°C

"Calculate the number of millimoles in 500 mg of each of the following amino acids: alanine (MW = 89), leucine (131), tryptophan
Cloud [144]

Answer:

- Alanine =  5.61 mmoles

- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles

Explanation:

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g

- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 5.61mmoles

- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m →  2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 =  3.4 mmoles
