Chem 11 Oa-Section 2

Exam #2

1 October 2004

Instructions

Please read each question carefully and answer it completely and clearly. Do the problems in the order that is easiest for you. Point value is indicated with each question. There are a total of 100 points possible on the exam. Read through the entire exam before beginning. There should be 5 pages including this page and a score tabulation page.

You should use clear, carefully drawn structures and pictorial representations for all molecules. Use precise and graphic arrow notation. Show 3-dimensional and resonance forms where necessary. Do not overlook the stereochemistry.

Compose your answers so that the logic of your analysis is unmistakable.

3. The following molecule is one of the 10 fragments that were used by Professor Kishi's research group at Harvard University to assemble Palytoxin. Label each chiral center as either R or $.

4. A recent article contained the following scheme. While the mechanism of this transformation is beyond the scope of this course, good conformational drawings are not. Each of the conformational drawings below has at least one error. The errors are not in the substituent labels.

Clearly indicate three errors in these drawings for full credit. (Fodor, G. B. Tetrahedron 1999, 55, 7391) (6 pts)

8. In class, we discussed A values as a means of gauging the size of a substituent located on a monosubstituted cyclohexane ring. The A values for the ethyl, isopropyl (-CH(CH3)2). and tert- butyl (-C(CH3)3) groups are 1.8 kcal/mol, 2.2 kcal/mol, and 4.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Progression through this series adds one additional methyl group per substituent. One might expect that given the incremental nature of this series, the difference in A value would be consistent as one went from the ethyl to isopropyl groups (difference = 0.4 kcal/mol) and then again from the isopropyl to tert-butyl substituents. Upon analysis, however, the difference in A value between an isopropyl and tert-butyl substituent seems disproportionately large (2.6 kcal/mol). Using a few words and several structures, explain the large difference in A value between the isopropyl and tert-butyl

substituents. (12 pts) at a-t
