1. Are dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate constitutional isomers or geometric isomers? Explain.
2. Why are the melting points and boiling points different for dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate?
3. What two methods could be used to purify the dimethyl fumarate?
Ans:
Constitutional isomers (Structural isomers): are compounds with the same molecular formula and different structures
Geometrical isomers: are compounds with the same molecular formula, same structure but different spatial arrangements due to the restricted rotation; may be across a double bond.
Ans 1:
Dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate are geometrical isomers as can be seen clearly from their structures below.
Dimethyl maleate is a cis isomer and dimethyl fumarate is a trans isomer.
Ans 2:
Because of their different spatial arrangements, dipole moment of these two molecules differ. As a result, they possess different boiling and melting point irrespective of the same connectivity.
In cis- trans geometrical isomers, usually cis will have larger dipole moment than trans isomer.
Dipole moment of dimethyl maleate > Dipole moment of dimethyl fumarate.
BP of dimethyl maleate (204 oC) > BP of dimethyl fumarate (193 oC)
Ans 3:
Since BP of dimethyl fumarate is 193 oC, distillation under reduced pressure (vacuum distillation) is one of the methods to purify.
Column chromatography is another method to purify dimethyl fumarate.

Monochlorination of butane gives two constitutional isomers: 1-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane. Dichlorination of butane yields six constitutional isomers. Four of these six isomers are drawn below. Draw the structures of the two missing isomers.
Which can have cis/trans isomers? and why? (1). 1,2,3-trimethylcyclopropane (2.) 1,2-dimethylbenzene (3.) 2,3-dimethyl-4-decene
Week 10- Constitutional isomers Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula, but their atoms are bonded in different orders. These may be further distinguished as chain isomers, which differ only in hydrocarbon chain structure, positional isomers, which differ in the location of a functional group, and functional group isomers which differ in the nature of their functional groups. Typically chain and position isomers show only modest differences in their physical and chemical properties, while functional group isomers differ greatly from...
