Which is stronger, the C=O bond in an ester () or the C=O bond in a saturated ketone ()? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

An ester C=O bondis stronger than a saturated ketone C=O bond.

Step by step solution

01

Energy

Energy is directly related to frequency and inversely related to wavelength. But in the case of wavenumber, energy is directly related to wavenumber.

02

Fundamentals to decide stronger bond

As the wavenumber increases, the energy needed to cause IR absorption increases, indicating greater bond strength.

03

Strength of ester and saturated ketone

The ester stretch occurs at higher wavenumbers and, therefore, higher energies. Since more energy is required to stretch that bond, the ester bond must be stronger.

Thus, an ester C=O bondis stronger than a saturated ketone C=O bond,respectively.

Question: Nitriles,R-C鈮�N, undergo a hydrolysis reaction when heated withaqueous acid. What is the structure of the compound produced by hydrolysis of propanenitrile, CH3CH2C鈮�N, if it has IR absorptions from 2500-3100cm-1and at 1710cm-1, and has M+=74?

Propose structures for compounds that meet the following descriptions:

  1. An optically active compound C5H10Owith an IR absorption at 1730 cm-1.
  2. A non-optically active compound C5H9N with an IR absorption at 2215cm-1.

Question: The infrared spectrum of the compound with the mass spectrum shown below lacks any significant absorption above 3000cm-1. There is a prominent peak near 1740cm-1and another strong peak near 1200cm-1.Propose a structure consistent with the data.
