EXPLANATIONS AND/OR SOLUTIONS (di lahat hahaha)
Note: I did not include explanations for the reactions and nomenclature except for
Thiols and Sulfides since I forgot to include it in the PPT. But for all other
numbers with such questions, just refer to the PPT hihi, mababasa niyo naman
yun dun, kung anong reaction yun hahaha. (peace in advance)

1. Barrelene is the name of the compound. It is not aromatic since it is not planar.

2. Check whether the compounds follow the Huckel’s Rule. The value of n for the
compound A is 1/2 while the other choices has a value of n=1. Since the value of n
should be an integer and compound A’s n value is the fraction, it doesn’t obey the
rule. Therefore, not aromatic.

4. Only the Nitro group (-NO2) is the meta director. See PPT, under Reactions of
Benzene, Effects of Substituents, Table 15.2 of Solomons.

5. Again, See PPT, under Reactions of Benzene, Effects of Substituents, Table 15.2
of Solomons.

6. This is an example of Effect of Substituents in the reaction of benzenes. Here,

the substituent is methyl (alkyl) which is a weakly activating ortho-para director,
therefore the nitro group from the reactant will be directed to ortho and para
positions.

18. I’ll just include this here kasi baka malito kayo, wala kasi na sodium dichromate
na reagent sa PPT for reactions of alcohol. Keep in mind na dichromate siya, so it
is an example of chromium reagent and these types of reagent oxidizes compounds.
And we know na secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

19. Choice C is wrong, π is not included in the equation, π means pi electrons.

20. To know the number of π electrons, bilangin lang yung double bond tapos multiply
sa 2.

26. Reagents in choice A forms trans products while reagents in choice B forms cis
products.

28. Sulfides – the sulfur analogs of ethers; also called thioethers.

Nomenclature of Sulfides:
- same as naming ethers but the suffix would be sulfides instead of ethers.
- complex sulfides are named as alkylthiol groups. For example, the substituent
-SCH3 is called the methylthio group.

31. A sulfone: A sulfide:

A sulfoxide: A sulfonoxide: I don’t even know if this exists

33. Don’t be deceived by choice A, alkoxymercuration-demercuration dapat, not oxy.

35. Thiols – sulfur analogs of alcohols that contain an SH group rather than OH.
- could easily undergo oxidation to produce disulfides and could easily
be reduced back.
Nomenclature of Thiols:
1. Similar with naming of alcohols, but uses the suffix thiol instead of -ol.
2. Mercapto group – when another functional group is present in the compound,
the SH group is named as a substituent mercapto.
