Organic Chemistry - CHEM 220-2
Problem Set #2
Due Monday, March 20 at 11:00 am
25 points total
1. Provide names and/or structures for the following molecules: (6 pts = 2 pts each)
2. Consider rotations around the C2-C3 bond in 2-methylhexane. (7 pts)
a. Represent all the major conformations in Newman projections. (2 pts)
b. Construct a qualitative plot (reaction energy diagram) that describes the energy of the
system as a function of the progress of the interconversion of the conformational isomers.
(1 pt)
i. Be sure to clearly indicate the coordinates on the diagram that correspond to the
different conformations.
c. Specify the energy differences that control the populations of the staggered
conformations at equilibrium. (1 pt)
d. Specify the energy differences that control the rate of the interconversion reactions (there
are forward and back reaction rates). (1 pt)
e. Explain how your reaction energy diagram describes changes in energy as a function of
changes in molecular structure. (2 pts)

  1. Consider the following reactions: (12 pts = 3 pts each) For each reaction:
    1. Identify the nucleophile, electrophile, acid and/or base (more than one may exist).
    2. Predict the possible product(s) for the reaction.
    3. Explain whether the reaction is likely to occur or not.
    4. If the reaction is not likely, explain and suggest how one might change the reactants to make the reaction a better reaction.
