Draw the condensed structural formula, or line-angle formula if cyclic, for each of the following:

d. 4-bromophenol

Accepted Answer

All right. Hi, everyone. So this question says to provide the line angle structure if a cyclic compound or condensed structural formula of the following. And here we have 34 di chlorophyll and four different answer choices labeled A through D. So in this case, are parrot chain as evidence pipe. What's written on the very right side of the name itself is phenol, right? And recalled phenol refers to a benzene ring with a hydroxy or O group attached. So because the compound is in fact, cyclic, we're going to use a line angle formula for this question. Recall that line angle formulas do not explicitly show carbon atoms in organic molecules instead carbon atoms as well as the appropriate number of hydrogens are implied using corners and open ends of the structures themselves. So in the case of benzene, benzene would be depicted as a hexagon with alternating double bonds inside the ring. So in this case, the first thing I would do is go ahead and draw a molecule of phenol. So I already have the benzene ring. So attached to one of the carbons in the benzene ring is a hydroxy group. And just for the record recall that when hydrogen is attached to an atom that is not carbon, it is going to be shown in a line structure. So now that I have my base, right. The next thing I'm going to do is number my benzene ring. Now, in the case of phenol, right, the carbon atom of the benzene ring that's attached to my hydroxy group is going to be numbered one. So this means that I can number my remaining carbon atoms accordingly. So now that I've taken care of the structure of my base, right? Or my parent chain, I can concern myself with substituents present in the molecule, which if you recall are written to the left side of the parent name that leads me to the phrase 34 decorum recall that the prefix die is meant to specify that you have two of the same substituent present in the molecule itself. So the phrase die, Chloro tells me that I have two atoms of chlorine attached to phenol. And so the numbers are necessary here to specify where each substituent is on the parent chain. So the phrase 34, Di Chloro tells me I have two chlorine atoms, one of them on carbon, three of the benzene ring and another one on carbon for. And because I don't have any other substituents, then that would be all for this compound. And the structure of 34 di chlorophyll matches with option D in the multiple choice, the that would be our final answer and there you have it. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching. And I hope you found this helpful.
