Question

Prototype 1: (pictured)

For your Prototype 2 submission, build a fragment or modify your Prototype 1 fragment and make sure that it fulfills these requirements:

1. The molecule has an acidic or basic group.

2. Add a fragment or fragments that contain C atoms with different oxidation numbers, so that overall, your molecule has C atoms with 5 different oxidation states.(Hint: Use the Aspirin molecule as an example.)

3. Your molecule contains at least 4 different types of atoms.

4. Your molecule needs to have atoms with no hypervalence, unless you built an oxyacid and used a central atom that is known to form hypervalent structures in your first Prototype. In other words, you need to clean up your Prototype 1 structure and follow the rules to build Lewis structures.

5. The molecule you submit cannot be less than 10 atoms or more than 20 atoms.

6. A maximum of 4 points will be deducted if any or all of these requirements are not fulfilled.

7. If you modify your Prototype 1 fragment you will not lose points, but you will lose 2 points if you start over with a different structure.

NH, o ОН

Answer 1

1) Molecule has acidic -COOH group. 2) 5 different oxidation numbers of carbons (indicated in parenthesis). 3) C, H, N, O, Br: more than 4 different types of HN I - Br 0740 T OH atoms. 4) No hypervalence. 5) C5H4BrNO4: total number of atoms = 15 6) All requirments are fulfilled. 7) It is just a modification of Prototype 1 fragment
