This index was created by Blake Aftab, a student at Cabrillo College.
These molecules were created using ChemDraw and converted using Chem3D, both are products of Cambridgesoft.
MM2 and Mopac software was used to optimize the conformations of these models.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact Blake Aftab.
I hope these models are found to be useful.
Please if you have any ideas that you think might be helpful for other students, contact me.
This web page is for the student's benefit so anything that you think would be helpful
is worth putting on this page.

Question 5 - Concerning Alterations of Procedure In The Presence of an Enzyme
    For this question you may want to turn to 25.4 in Ege, specifically page 1009. Here you will find a definition
of the term Denature, as it applies to proteins. Denaturing a protein is defined as changing its structure to a form
which is biologically inactive. If you take a look at the representation of an enzyme in the essay proceeding experiment 32,
you will see the intricate shape of a protein. This shape is responsible for the enzyme's catalytic property.
This intricate shape also allows a biological enzyme to catalyze a reaction with highly specific products with
specific connectivity and stereochemistry. The description on page 1009 lists the 3 major ways a protein can be denatured.

Experiment 31A
 Bromobenzene
 Phenylmagnesium bromide
 Benzophenone
 Triphenylmethanol
Question 5 C- Formation of a carboxylic acid using a Grignard Reagent
    For this question take a glance at the main reaction in Experiment 31B
More information on this reaction can be found in your lecture text in 14.3 on the bottom of
pg. 561 - Reactions of Organometallic Reagents with Carbon Dioxide

Macrocale Extraction of Piperine
Piperine - (E,E) form from black pepper

Experiment 30
(+) Tartaric Acid
R(+)- Phenylethylamine
S(-)- Phenylethylamine
Question 6- Draw the S enantomer of the amine
If there is one question that this site can help you with it's this one.
Simply view the S enantomer and use a stick and wedge diagram to describe what you see. If you wish you can
also use a Fisher diagram. The Fisher projection is probably the most desired method.

!?Problem Set?! (Question 2-C)
Did you construct a model of Allyl Bromide and still have no idea why the conformation
that allows for an E2 reaction to occur is unstable? Well your models don't show the actual
volume that the atoms displace. If you take a look at Allyl Bromide using the ball&stick representation,
which is much like the models from your model kit, and then look at it with Van der Waals radii the
problem becomes much clearer. The conformation is extremely high energy due to steric effects between the
Bromide and the hydrogen attached to the #1Carbon. Take a look. Also the resulting C=C=C product
is very unstable. The Hydrogen used to create the double bond is not likely to be removed because it is attached
to a vinyl carbon with sp2 hybridized orbitals.

IR Spectroscopy
 Intro to IR Spectroscopy
a resource that nicely compliments Chapter 11 in Ege and Tech 19 in PLKE
There is a protocol for deciphering IR spectra as well as exercises.

 IR WIZARD!!!!!!
A must try!!!! Enter a wave number into IR Wizard and it will retrieve possible groups.
Good Luck
