Question

1.Using the compounds below: A. Arrange the compounds from most reduced to most oxidized (from left to right). B. Arrange the compounds from best electron donor to worst electron donor (from left to right). C. Explain and relate the two trends you see from A and B above. 2.Compare the delta G you calculated for Homo sapiens and Desulforudis audacviator. The electron donors for both organisms sit very close together on the redox tower yet the delta G is very different. A. Explain why the delta G is very different. (Hint: Look at the electron acceptors.) B. What does the difference in delta G mean for these two organisms? Which organism needs to 'eat' more often?

Explanation / Answer

code the structure 1,2,3 and 4,5.

seq from oxidised to reduced will be:2,3,4,5,1

best electron donor to worst electron donor: 2,3,5,4,1

Alkyl groups show positive inductive effect, this is due to hyperconjugation caused by some small overlap of empty orbital or the carbocation with that of neighboring bonding orbitals.
