2019 Tutorial1 - Problems
Topics to practise (problems from Bruice and additional problems):
− Lewis structures: Problems 1.49, 1.77, 1.55 (1.46, 1.73, 1.52). More? 1.67, 1.59.
− Hybridisation: Problems 1.51, 1.64, 1.65, 1.75 (1.48, 1.60, 1.61, 1.71).
NB: Realise that sp hybrids dsiplay a stronger ‘s’ character than sp3 hybrids, which implies
that they are also shorter (see also §1.14).
− Dipoles: Problems 1.78, 1.62 (1.70, 1.58).
Before answering the problems below, study Bruice Chapter 2 and the acid‐base tutorial at
the end of the chapter that provides an additional summary of highschool material.
− acidity and pKa: problems 2.59, 2.62, 2.72 (2.53, 2.56, 2.65).
− Application of acids and bases: problem 2.74 (2.67).
− Drawing from a name: problem 3.55 (3.52), Additional problems 1 and 2.
− Nomenclature: problems 3.73, 3.62, 3.83 (3.70, 3.59, 3.80), Additional problem 3. For 3.62:
Give two names for each compound!
− Nomenclature and drawing: problem 3.72 (3.69), Additional problem 4.
− Properties: problem 3.56, 3.84 (3.53, 3.81).
Additional questions on non‐systematic nomenclature (see list on Brightspace):
Problem 1: Indicate for every carbon atom of the molecule right, if it is a
primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary carbon.
In addition, draw the structures of:
a) sec‐butyl chloride c) sec‐propyl chloride
b) tert‐butyl chloride and d) isopropyl chloride
Problem 2: Draw the skeletal structure of each of the following
compounds:
Please, note that with heterocyclic compounds (i.e. cyclic molecules with
a non‐carbon atom in the ring), one starts counting at the heteroelement
in the ring. 4‐Acetyl‐2‐chloro‐
tetrahydrofuran
a) 4‐Allylheptane g) Diethyl ether
b) 2‐Chloroethylvinyl ether h) 2,5‐diacetylpyrrolidine
c) 1‐Benzyl‐2‐bromocyclohexane i) 3,4‐diphenylthiophene
d) 1,1,2,2‐tetrafluorocyclopentane j) 4‐tert‐butylpyridine
e) Propargyl alcohol k) Benzoyl chloride
f) Vinyl chloride l) N,N‐diisopropylamine

Problem 3: Give systematic names for the molecules in problem in problem 2 (a), (b), (f) and (g).
Problem 4: Draw the molecular skeletal structure of the solvents below:
a) Aceton (systematic name?) g) Methyl t‐butyl ether
b) THF h) Trifluoroacetic acid
c) Acetic acid (azijnzuur) i) Isopropyl alcohol
d) DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) j) 1,2,4‐trichlorobenzene
e) Chloroform (systematic name?) k) 2‐Methoxyethanol
f) Ethyl acetate l) 1,1,2‐Trichlorotrifluoroethane
