Second Examination
November 14th, 1994
7:00 pm-9:00 pm
Nine KEY
Lab TA name,
This is an open book test. You may use anything that is not alive.
‘Write all of your answers in the space beneath each question. If you mess up the assigned space, you may
choose another space of equivalent size (e-g., on the back of a page) but itis your obligation to make clear
where the answer is you wish graded.
‘Tum in this exam and no other material at 9:00 pm.
READ EACH QUESTION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. ANSWER ONLY WHAT IS ASKED!
‘THIS EXAM HAS SEVEN PAGES; Please check immediately to be sure you have a complete copy.
THERE IS ALSO A SET OF "DATA SHEETS", primarily spectral data for your reference (5 PAGES).
DO NOT TURN IN THE DATA SHEETS
As always, there is opportunity for substantial partial credit without a complete answer-write something!
If you do not have an answer to an early part of the question, just proceed and answer the rest in general terms
as best you can,
Good luck!

Pledge:1. (25 pts). Using the empirical formula indicated at each part, propose one (perhaps different)
structure which best fits the description for each of the following statements. No formal charge nor unpaired
electrons allowed. In each case, explain your thinking in words and pictures (mechanism),

of compound A was found without a label. The Orgo detective did a litle chemistry and spectroscopy. She
found that compound A reacted with ozone (reductive processing) to give two compounds (B and C) which
‘were separated and their structures were determined by IR, NMR, and Mass spectra. Compound A reacted
with HCl in ether solution to give one compound, D.
