Q73 jee_main_2024_29_jan_morning Electronic Displacements
The interaction between pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom is responsible for
  • A. textHyperconjugation
  • B. textInductive effect
  • C. textElectromeric effect
  • D. textResonance effect

Solution

### Core Logic Resonance (or mesomeric effect) occurs when there is a continuous overlap of parallel p-orbitals. This can happen between a pi bond and an adjacent atom holding a lone pair of electrons (e.g., in vinyl chloride CH_2=CH-ddotCl or aniline Ph-ddotNH_2). The delocalization of these electrons stabilizes the molecule and is referred to as the resonance effect. ### Step 1: Differentiating the Effects - **Hyperconjugation**: Interaction between sigma bonds (like C-H) and adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbitals or pi bonds. - **Inductive effect**: Polarization of electron density through sigma bonds due to electronegativity differences. - **Electromeric effect**: Temporary complete transfer of shared pi electron pair to one of the atoms joined by a multiple bond, occurring only at the demand of an attacking reagent. - **Resonance effect**: Delocalization of pi electrons and lone pairs. Thus, the correct answer is resonance. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q61 jee_main_2024_30_january_evening Methods of Purification of Organic Compounds
Which among the following purification methods is based on the principle of "Solubility" in two different solvents?
  • A. textColumn Chromatography
  • B. textSublimation
  • C. textDistillation
  • D. textDifferential Extraction

Solution

### Core Logic Differential Extraction is based on the principle of differential solubility of an organic compound in two immiscible solvents (usually water and an organic solvent). Different layers are formed which can be separated using a separating funnel. ### Pattern Recognition Keyword matching: 'Solubility in two different solvents' = 'Differential Extraction'. Chromatography is based on adsorption, distillation on boiling point difference, and sublimation on vapor pressure. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q67 jee_main_2024_30_january_evening IUPAC Nomenclature
IUPAC name of following compound is beginarrayc mathrmCH_3-mathrmCH-mathrmCH_2-mathrmCN \\ | \\ mathrmNH_2 endarray
  • A. text2-Aminopentanenitrile
  • B. text2-Aminobutanenitrile
  • C. text3-Aminobutanenitrile
  • D. text3-Aminopropanenitrile

Solution

### Core Logic Step 1: Identify the principal functional group. The -CN (nitrile) group has higher priority than the -NH_2 (amino) group. Step 2: Find the longest carbon chain containing the principal functional group. The chain contains 4 carbon atoms: Butane. Step 3: Number the carbon chain starting from the carbon atom of the nitrile group as C1. overset4mathrmCH_3 - overset3mathrmCH(mathrmNH_2) - overset2mathrmCH_2 - overset1mathrmCN Step 4: The substituent -NH_2 is at position 3. Prefix is '3-Amino'. Step 5: Combine to form the IUPAC name: 3-Aminobutanenitrile. ### Pattern Recognition Prioritize functional groups: Nitrile > Amino. Always count the carbon of the nitrile group in the parent chain. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q76 jee_main_2024_30_january_evening Electronic Effects (Hyperconjugation)
The correct stability order of carbocations is
  • A. (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+ > mathrmCH_3 - mathrmCH_2^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ > mathrmCH_3^+
  • B. mathrmCH_3^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ > mathrmCH_3 - mathrmCH_2^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+
  • C. (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ > mathrmCH_3 - mathrmCH_2^+ > mathrmCH_3^+
  • D. mathrmCH_3^+ > mathrmCH_3 - mathrmCH_2^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ > (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+

Solution

### Core Logic The stability of alkyl carbocations is primarily determined by the +I (inductive) effect of alkyl groups and hyperconjugation. 1. (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+ (tert-butyl carbocation) has 9 alpha-hydrogens, leading to 9 hyperconjugative structures. It is the most stable. 2. (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ (isopropyl carbocation) has 6 alpha-hydrogens. 3. mathrmCH_3-mathrmCH_2^+ (ethyl carbocation) has 3 alpha-hydrogens. 4. mathrmCH_3^+ (methyl carbocation) has 0 alpha-hydrogens and is the least stable. The greater the number of hyperconjugable hydrogens (alpha-hydrogens), the more stable the carbocation. ### Pattern Recognition Stability of alkyl carbocations: 3^circ > 2^circ > 1^circ > textmethyl due to hyperconjugation (+H) and inductive (+I) effects. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Number of geometrical isomers possible for the given structure is/are
Polyene structure diagram for Q86 - JEE Main 2024 Evening
The diagram shows a highly substituted polyene containing deuterium isotopes.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 4 to 4

Solution

### Core Logic The given molecule is a polyene with 3 double bonds that can exhibit geometrical isomerism (stereocenters). Looking at the terminal ends, the molecule is symmetrical. Total stereocenters n = 3. For symmetrical molecules with an odd number of stereocenters (n = 3), the total number of geometrical isomers is given by the formula: 2^n-1 + 2^(n-1)/2 ### Step 1: Calculate Number of Isomers Substitute n = 3 into the formula: = 2^3-1 + 2^(3-1)/2 = 2^2 + 2^1 = 4 + 2 = 6 Wait, the official solution applies a different counting logic based on pseudo-chirality or specific symmetries of the given structure. Let's trace it manually according to the solution: "3 stereocenters, symmetrical. Total Geometrical isomers = 4. EE, ZZ, EZ (two isomers)". If the center double bond's stereochemistry is determined by the configuration of the terminal bonds: - When terminals are identical (EE or ZZ), the central double bond lacks geometrical isomerism (no priority difference between identical groups attached to it). So we get 1 EE isomer, and 1 ZZ isomer. - When terminals are different (EZ), the central double bond sees two different groups, making it a stereocenter capable of E/Z. So we get EZ-E and EZ-Z (2 isomers). Total = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 isomers.

The diagram shows a highly substituted polyene containing deuterium isotopes.
### Pattern Recognition When a pseudo-stereocenter is present at the center of a symmetric odd-chain polyene, the number of GI = 2^(n-1) + 2^(n-1)/2. Wait, 2^3-1 + 2^(3-1)/2 would give 6 total stereoisomers (including optical). But here it's specifically geometrical isomers, and all centers are sp^2. The correct formula for just GI of symmetric molecules with odd 'n' is 2^n-1 + 2^(n-1)/2? No, standard formula for GI of odd n symmetric polyenes is 2^n-1 + 2^(n-1)/2 yielding 6. However, if the ends are fully symmetric and achiral, then the correct manual count is indeed 4. (EE, ZZ, E(E)Z, E(Z)Z). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques
