Question

Draw the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the product of each of the following:

a. Condensed structural formula showing a pentagon-shaped molecule reacting with water and a proton, indicating a hydration reaction.

Accepted Answer

Alright. Hi, everyone. So this question is asking us to give the line angle formula of the substance produced in the following reaction. Here we have 45 diethyl, one cyclohexane reacting with water in the presence of an acid catalyst. And here we have four different answer choices labeled A through D. So in this case, recall that the combination of an alkene with water in the presence of an acid is an example of a hydration reaction in which the water molecule is added across both carbons of the starting ke. Now one carbon atom of the starting alkene receives hydrogen and the other receives a hydroxy or oh group attached to it. Now, in most cases, the Markov Niko rule or Markov Niko's rule would apply when it comes to the hydration reaction of an Ain recall. And Markov Niko's rule would state that the hydroxy group add on oops it adds on to the more substituted carbon. So what I mean by that is that in most cases, the hydroxy group, excuse me, the hydroxy group would attach itself to the carbon atom that has less hydrogen atoms attached to it, but noted how I said most cases because I want to draw your attention to the structure of 45 diy one cyclohexane. And for the record recall that in a line angle formula, carbon atoms are not actually drawn, right. They're depicted as either corners or open ends. Now notice how the two carbons that participate in the double bond are actually symmetrical, right? They have the same substituents attached to them. This means that in this case, we cannot differentiate between a more substituted carbon and a less substituted carbon. This means that in the final product of the hydration reaction, the hydroxy group can attach itself onto either carbon. So in the final product, the carbon backbone won't change per se. What I mean by that is that the number of carbon atoms as well as their connection to each other is not going to be affected by a hydration reaction. One of the primary differences is the fact that there is now going to be a single bond in between carbons, one and two of the ring as opposed to a double bond in the beginning. And so the hydroxy group can attach itself onto either carpet and just for the record, a hydrogen atom would attach itself onto the other carbon from the starting a key. However, recall that in line structures, hydrogen atoms that are connected to carbon atoms are not actually drawn and are instead implied. This means that our final product would be 34 di ethyl cyclohexane. And so my product corresponds with the structure provided for option D in the multiple choice. But regardless, I want to briefly discuss why the remaining three answer choices are incorrect. Starting off with options A and C notice how options A and C both propose two hydroxy groups attached to the carbon skeleton. And that would not be correct because recall that a hydration reaction results in the addition of only one hydroxy group. So options A and C are correct because of that. But option C also proposes an opening of the original cyclohexane ring. This would not be correct either because hydration reactions do not break single bonds present in between carpets and Option B. On the other hand, is incorrect because there is no hydroxy group present and there you have it. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
