M 234, Spring 2008, FIAL EXAM - 2 - AME Question 1 (18 pts.) Provide IUPA names for the following structures, do not forget to use E/Z and R/S as appropriate. a) 2 (2S),5-dimethyloct-(5E)-enoic acid b) ethyl propanoate Question 2 (14 pts.) For the following three structures: a) learly indicate the location of the most acidic hydrogen atom on the line-angle structures b) Indicate the order of increasing onsted acidity for A, B and. Give a BRIEF explanation. A B least acidic A < < B most acidic the anion in A is destabilized by the of the ester, which acts as a resonance donating group to the enolate anion, the oxygen in B acts as a weak inductive withdrawing group to the enolate Question 2 (10 pts.) Rank the following three structures in order of increasing onsted acidity. Give a BRIEF explanation. F F F A B least acidic < B < A most acidic the carboxylate is stabilized by the fluorines via the inductive effect, the further the F from the anion, the weaker the inductive effect
M 234, Spring 2008, FIAL EXAM -3 - AME Question 4 (12 pts.) Rank the following in order of increasing basicity, give a BRIEF explanation. sp 2 sp sp3 A B least basic < A < B most basic non-bonding electrons are lower in energy the more s-character the A.., lower in energy means less reactive, less basic Question 5 (12 pts) Explain why sodium borohydride (ab 4 ) will reduce a ketone but will not reduce an ester. Draw minor resonance structures of the ketone and ester to support your BRIEF explanation. ab 4 /Et ab 4 /Et no reaction B 4 is a Lewis base, the carbonyl carbon is Lewis acidic in the ketone (see resonance structure), the carbonyl carbon is less Lewis acidic in the ester due to the presence of the oxygen. Question 6 (12 pts) Give the product of the following acid/base reaction, give a BRIEF explanation for your choice of product 1 Equiv. l the minor resonance contributor shows that the carbonyl oxygen has a partial negative charge and is thus more basic, and the ester oxygen has a partial positive charge and is thus less basic
