    Study Notes

    Naming Molecules

    • Students must be able to name molecules using IUPAC or common nomenclature.

    Compound Groups

    • Thiols generally have a strong, unpleasant odor.
    • CFCs were widely used as aerosol propellants and are known to deplete the ozone layer.
    • Ethers were used as inhaled anesthetics during early surgeries.

    Drawing Molecules

    • Students must be able to draw the chemical structures of molecules. This includes benzanldehyde and trans-2-chlorocyclohexanol.
    • For trans-2-chlorocyclohexanol, geometric details must be included in the drawing.

    Solubility

    • Students must be able to predict the solubility of a molecule based on its structure.
      • For question 12, they need to determine if the given molecule is more soluble in water or methylene chloride.

    Acidity

    • Students must understand the concept of acidity and be able to identify the most acidic compound.
      • They'll be given several compounds and asked to circle the one with the highest pKa (least acidic).

    Identifying Unknown Compounds

    • This question is a basic example of using IR spectroscopy and chemical tests (like the Tollens’ test) to help identify unknown compounds in a laboratory setting.
      • To be completed successfully, students should be able to identify the most likely compound from a list and provide a justification for their choice.

    CFC Structure

    • Students need to understand the basic structure of a CFC compound.
      • They will be given multiple structures and asked to select the one that best represents a CFC.

    Alcohol Production of Alkenes

    • Students need to be able to draw the structure of an alcohol that would produce the given alkene as a major product of a reaction.
      • The reaction will be provided.

    Keto-Enol Tautomerism

    • Students must be familiar with keto-enol tautomerism and understand how a ketone group rearranges to form a different functional group.
      • They will be asked to identify the functional group(s) that result from the rearrangement.

    Identifying Hemiacetals

    • Students must be able to identify the specific bonds and atoms that form a hemiacetal within a monosaccharide structure.
      • They will be shown a monosaccharide hemiacetal and asked to circle the relevant bonds and atoms.

    Fruity Breath Odor

    • Students will need to explain why a patient might have fruity-smelling breath, even if they haven't eaten fruit.
      • This requires understanding how the body processes different nutrients and what conditions can lead to the production of specific volatile compounds.

    Fill-in-the-Box Reactions

    • Students must be able to predict the products of chemical reactions.
      • They will be given nine chemical reactions with one missing compound.
        • The missing compound will be the reactant or the product of the reaction.
        • Students must write the correct structure of the missing compound in the box provided.
        • If no reaction occurs, they should write “NR” in the box.
