In Chapter 4, we will learn that single bonds experience free rotation at room temperature, while double bonds do not. Consider
the two C-N bonds in the structure. One of these bonds exhibits free rotation, as expected for a single bond, but the other C-N bond exhibits restricted rotation. Identify the C-N bond with restricted rotation, and justify your answer by drawing resonance structures.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The main objective here is to draw a diagram of an heterocyclic compound containing two C-N bonds in the structure. One with free rotation, as expected for a single bond, but the other C-N bond exhibits restricted rotation. After that ; we will identify the C-N bond with restricted rotation, and also justify our answer by drawing resonance structures.
So; the first image below shows the structure of the heterocyclic compound containing two C-N bonds in the structure with One with free rotation, as expected for a single bond, but the other C-N bond exhibits restricted rotation. From the first diagram. the squared area indicates the C-N bond that exhibits restricted rotation.
The amide bonds in the C-N bonds offers the resonance characteristics and thus exhibits restricted rotation. The resonance is shown in the second image below
