Use this tag for questions relating to organic molecules and their properties (structure of organic molecules, spectroscopic properties, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry etc). DO NOT use this tag as the only tag in your question, as this tag by itself cannot appropriately classify your question. Always use this tag in addition to other more specific tags.

Naming Ibuprofen
The outer two refers to the fact that the (4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl) group is on the second carbon of the propanoic acid. The four tells us that the methylpropyl group is across from the first carbon …

Best chair configuration for trimethylcyclohexane matching a specific Haworth projection?
While you are correct that B should be the most stable conformer of trimethylcylcohexane, the question asked which one best represents the one shown in the Haworth projection. Answer choice B has R st …

Bond lengths: 1-D particle-in-a-box for 1,3-butadiene
As porphyrin said in his comment, the $\ce{C-H}$ bond is not part of the delocalized $\pi$ system that makes up the one dimensional box. This is partially because hydrogen does not have a p orbital to …

Is acetone saturated or not?
The degrees of unsaturation for a hydrocarbon of formula $\mathrm{C_xH_y}$ is equal to $\dfrac{(2x+2-y)}{2}$. The addition of an oxygen atom does not change the number of degrees of unsaturation, so a …

Rate determining step
The reaction that you are looking at is known as an $S_N1$ reaction. In the first step of the reaction, the leaving group (in this case bromine) falls off the carbon chain, forming a carbocation. In t …

Is this reaction of 4-chloro-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane SN1, SN2, E1, or E2?
E1 is the correct answer. There are a couple of factors that lead me to this conclusion. First of all, heat favors elimination over substitution, meaning that this reaction will either be E1 or E2. No …

Can you have a meta stereocenter?
Imagine a compound such as 1,3-dibromo-1,2,3-trichloropropane. Since the first and third carbons are attached to four different groups, they are both chiral centers. Assuming that both of these stereo …

Why are antiaromatic compounds unstable?
Antiaromatic compounds are not necessarily unstable - they are just less stable than a bunch of ethenes connected by sigma bonds. If the pi electrons in an antiaromatic compound were to delocalize acr …

Why are antiaromatic compounds unstable?
Antiaromaticity is so destabilizing that it can cause compounds such as cyclobutadiene to elongate or manipulate their orbitals so that the pi system is no longer aromatic. I understand that aromatic …

Is this molecule possible? And if so, what is it called? (Cyclic groups)
If you want to consider the diene as the main chain, you could call this 2-cyclohexyl-1,3-butadiene. This used to be the proper name for the compound, as double bonds used to take priority over any le …

Is it possible for a group to substitute itself?
Yes - a nucleophile can replace itself in a substitution reaction. Under the SN1 mechanism, once the carbocation is formed, it becomes prone to attack from any negatively charged species, including th …
