Capitolo 10, Problema 38a

Draw the structure that corresponds to the compound names shown.
(a) (S)-3-bromo-3-ethylcyclohex-1-ene

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Step 1: Start by identifying the parent structure. The parent name is 'cyclohex-1-ene,' which indicates a six-membered cycloalkene ring with a double bond at position 1.
Step 2: Number the ring to assign the lowest possible locant to the double bond. Begin numbering at one of the carbons in the double bond, moving in the direction that gives the substituents the lowest possible numbers.
Step 3: Add the substituents to the structure. The name '3-bromo-3-ethyl' indicates that at position 3 of the cyclohexene ring, there is both a bromine atom and an ethyl group attached.
Step 4: Assign the stereochemistry. The '(S)' configuration specifies the absolute configuration at the chiral center (carbon 3). Use the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules to assign priorities to the substituents at carbon 3, and arrange them to ensure the configuration matches the (S) designation.
Step 5: Draw the final structure, ensuring the double bond, substituents, and stereochemistry are correctly represented. Verify that the structure matches the IUPAC name provided.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Stereochemistry

Stereochemistry is the study of the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and how this affects their chemical behavior. In this question, the '(S)' designation indicates that the compound has a specific three-dimensional configuration around the chiral center, which is crucial for accurately drawing the structure.

Substituents and Nomenclature

In organic chemistry, substituents are atoms or groups of atoms that replace hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon. The '3-bromo-3-ethyl' part of the name indicates specific substituents on the cyclohexene ring, which must be correctly positioned in the structure to reflect the compound's name and properties.
