Exhibit 9-1
The compound below has been isolated from the safflower plant. Consider its structure to answer
the following question(s).
7.
Refer to Exhibit 9-1. What is the molecular formula for this natural product?
ANS:
C13H10
8.
Refer to Exhibit 9-1. What is the degree of unsaturation for this compound?
ANS:
We can arrive at the degree of unsaturation for a structure in two ways. Since we know that the
degree of unsaturation is the number of rings and/or multiple bonds in a compound, we can simply
count them. There are three double bonds (3 degrees) and three triple bonds (six degrees), so the
degree of unsaturation is 9.
We can verify this by using the molecular formula, C13H10, to calculate a degree of unsaturation.
The saturated 13-carbon compound should have the base formula C13H28, so (28 − 10) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2
= 9.

Exhibit 9-2
To answer the following question(s), consider the information below:
The heat of hydrogenation of 1,4-pentadiene is 254.4 kJ/mol. The heat of hydrogenation of 1pentyne is approximately 292.9 kJ/mol.
11.
Refer to Exhibit 9-2. Which structure is more stable, 1,4-pentadiene or 1-pentyne? Briefly
explain your answer.
ANS:
1,4-pentadiene
The heat of hydration is the amount of energy released when hydrogen adds to the multiple
carbon-to-carbon bonds in a compound and converts it to the corresponding saturated compound.
The larger the value, the more energy that is released during the hydrogenation. Both of these
substances, end up as pentane upon complete hydrogenation. That is, they end up at the same final
energy level. Less energy is released by 1,4-pentadiene, therefore, this reactant has less energy to
start with or is more stable than 1-pentyne.

Refer to Exhibit 9-2. Show the energy differences between the hydrogenation of 1,4pentadiene and 1-pentyne on a reaction energy diagram.
ANS:
Exhibit 9-3
Consider an unknown with the molecular formula C4H6.
13.
Refer to Exhibit 9-3. How many degrees of unsaturation are present?
ANS:
A saturated four carbon compound has the formula C4H10. Therefore this compound has (10 − 6) ÷
2 = 2 degrees of unsaturation.
