OpenStudy (somy):

owh that'll need a huge explanation

OpenStudy (somy):

what do u already know from here?

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Should i use the general formula: CnH2n+2

OpenStudy (somy):

no

OpenStudy (somy):

first look at what u r given

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Cyclohexene, aldehyde and alphatic side chain

OpenStudy (somy):

ok good tell me for aldehyde, what do u need? how many carbons hydrogens oxygens

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Cyclohexene- Has 6 Carbon and 10 Hydrogen Aldehyde- RCHO Alphatic side chaiin-CnH2n+2

OpenStudy (somy):

ok cool for Cyclohexene- u need 6 Carbon and 10 Hydrogens good and that's when Cyclohexene is alone right? meaning not bonded to anything

OpenStudy (abmon98):

yes

OpenStudy (somy):

ok, so if u bond it what are u going to loose?

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Double Bond must be removed then

OpenStudy (somy):

no

OpenStudy (somy):

u need that double bond

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Hydrogen is lost

OpenStudy (somy):

cool so now u'll be left with 6 carbons and 10-1=9 hydrogens right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh god somy that's going to be a huge explanation!!

OpenStudy (abmon98):

yes youre right

OpenStudy (somy):

okay how many C and H and O u r originally given?

OpenStudy (somy):

C-20 H-28 O-1 right?

OpenStudy (abmon98):

yes

OpenStudy (somy):

okay cool. now u have aldehyde and u have cyclohexene aldehyde needs 1 carbon 1 hydrogen 1 oxygen do u agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abmon98 do you have skype?

OpenStudy (abmon98):

yes i do agree

OpenStudy (abmon98):

yes i do have a skype account

OpenStudy (somy):
