Chapter 8: Q.8-8-66E-a (page 262)

How would you distinguish between the following pairs of compounds using simple chemical tests? Tell what you would do and what you would see.

(a) Cyclopentene and cyclopentane

Short Answer

Expert verified

Cyclopentene shows the bayer's test and bromine water test but cyclopentane does not show this test.

Step by step solution

01

Bayer's test

Cyclopentene is an unsaturated compound having a double bond, and cyclopentane is a saturated compound having a single bond.

Cyclopentene on reaction with KMnO4 forms 1,2 diol and decolorizes the purple color of potassium permanganate, but cyclopentane does not show decolorization.

02

Bromine water test

Cyclopentene is an unsaturated compound having a double bond and cyclopentane is a saturated compound having a single bond.

Cyclopentene on reaction with bromine water shows decolorization but when cyclopentane reacts with bromine water no decolorization is observed.

Question: Plexiglas, a clear plastic used to make many molded articles, is made by polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Draw a representative segment of Plexiglas.

Evidence that cleavage of 1,2-diols by HIO4occurs through a five membered cyclic periodate intermediate is based on kinetic data鈥攖he measurement of reaction rates. When diols A and B were prepared and the rates of their reaction withHIO4were measured, it was found that diol A cleaved approximately 1 million times faster than diol B. Make molecular models of A and B and of potential cyclic periodate intermediates, and then explain the kinetic results
