Page 1 of 16 TE UNIVERSITY F CALGARY FACULTY F SCIENCE FINAL EXAMINATIN CEMISTRY 350 April, 1997 Time: 3 ours PLEASE WRITE YUR NAME, STUDENT I.D. NUMBER AND SECTIN NUMBER (01 for MWF lectures and 02 for TR lectures) N BT YUR EXAM BKLET AND CMPUTER ANSWER SEET. Read the instructions carefully. The examination consists of Parts 1-10, each of which should be attempted. Note that some Parts provide you with a choice of questions. Parts 1-6 will be computer graded, and only Parts 7, 8, 9 and 10 are to be answered in your examination booklet. A periodic table with atomic numbers and atomic weights, and tables of spectroscopic data are appended to the end of the exam. Parts 1-6 consist of a series of multiple choice questions numbered 1-43 which are to be answered on your computer answer sheet. Indicate your answer by blackening out the appropriate space, A, B, C, D or E on the answer sheet. Use a pencil only and not ink. In some cases it is required that you indicate multiple items for a complete and/or correct answer by blackening out more than one space. In some other cases more than five options are available and some of these also require more than one space to be blackened out. For an example, an option specified as AB requires that you blacken out both space A and space B. Part marks may be awarded in some of the questions. Incorrect answers must be erased cleanly. Molecular models are permitted during the exam; calculators are also permitted, but NT programmable calculators.

Chem 350 Cont'd Page 18 of 16 10 PART 10 STRUCTURE DETERMINATIN: Write your answer in the booklet provided. Compound A had an elemental analysis that showed 69.73 % carbon and 11.70 % hydrogen, and gave an orange precipitate when treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (2,4-DNP). When A was reacted with LiAl 4 in dry TF, B was produced and was found to react slowly under Lucas conditions (ZnCl 2 / Cl). When B was reacted with conc. 2 S 4 and heated, hydrocarbon C was produced. C gave a colourless solution when tested with 2 / CCl 3. Reaction of C with ozone followed by zinc in acetic acid work-up gave two compounds D and E which both reacted with 2,4-DNP. The NMR of A - E are shown to the right. What are A - E
