Question 1 / 5

AQA Jan 2010 Paper 2 Q6 consider the following scheme of reactions areas outside the box will not be scanned for marking ch ch ch propane ch ch ch cl chloropropane ch chclch chloropropane ch ch ch oh propan ol ch ch oh ch propan ol propanal propanone a state the type of structural isomerism shown by propanal and propanone mark b a chemical test can be used to distinguish between separate samples of propanal and propanone identify a suitable reagent for the test state what you would observe with propanal and with propanone test reagent observation with propanal observation with propanone marks c state the structural feature of propanal and propanone which can be identified from their infrared spectra by absorptions at approximately cm you may find it helpful to refer to table on the data sheet mark wmp jan chem areas outside the box will not be scanned for marking d the reaction of chlorine with propane is similar to the reaction of chlorine with methane d i name the type of mechanism in the reaction of chlorine with methane mark d ii write an equation for each of the following steps in the mechanism for the reaction of chlorine with propane to form l chloropropane ch ch ch cl initiation step first propagation step second propagation step a termination step to form a molecule with the empirical formula c h marks e high resolution mass spectrometry of a sample of propane indicated that it was contaminated with traces of carbon dioxide use the data in the table to show how precise mr values can be used to prove that the sample contains both of these gases atom c h o precise relative atomic mass marks turn over wmp jan chem

Question 2 / 5

AQA Jan 2011 Paper 4 Q5 do not write outside the box atenolol is an example of the type of medicine called a beta blocker these medicines are used to lower blood pressure by slowing the heart rate the structure of atenolol is shown below ch h n oh ch ch ch p ch ch ch q a give the name of each of the circled functional groups labelled j and k on the structure of atenolol shown above functional group labelled j functional group labelled k marks b the h n m r spectrum of atenolol was recorded one of the peaks in the h n m r spectrum is produced by the ch group labelled p in the structure of atenolol use table on the data sheet to suggest a range of values for this peak name the splitting pattern of this peak range of values name of splitting pattern marks c n m r spectra are recorded using samples in solution the h n m r spectrum was recorded using a solution of atenolol in cdcl c i suggest why cdcl and not chcl was used as the solvent mark c ii suggest why cdcl is a more effective solvent than ccl for polar molecules such as atenolol mark wmp jan chem do not write outside the box d the c n m r spectrum of atenolol was also recorded use the structure of atenolol given to deduce the total number of peaks in the c n m r spectrum of atenolol e mark part of the c n m r spectrum of atenolol is shown below use this spectrum and table on the data sheet where appropriate to answer the questions which follow ppm e i give the formula of the compound that is used as a standard and produces the peak at ppm in the spectrum mark e ii one of the peaks in the c n m r spectrum above is produced by the ch group labelled q in the structure of atenolol identify this peak in the spectrum by stating its value mark e iii there are three ch groups in the structure of atenolol one of these ch groups produces the peak at in the c n m r spectrum above draw a circle around this ch group in the structure of atenolol shown below ch ch oh ch ch ch ch ch h n question continues on the next page mark turn over wmp jan chem do not write outside the box f atenolol is produced industrially as a racemate an equimolar mixture of two enantiomers by reduction of a ketone both enantiomers are able to lower blood pressure however recent research has shown that one enantiomer is preferred in medicines f i suggest a reducing agent that could reduce a ketone to form atenolol mark f ii draw a circle around the asymmetric carbon atom in the structure of atenolol shown below ch ch oh ch ch ch ch ch h n mark f iii suggest how you could show that the atenolol produced by reduction of a ketone was a racemate and not a single enantiomer marks f iv suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of using a racemate rather than a single enantiomer in medicines advantage disadvantage marks wmp jan chem turn over for the next question do not write on this page answer in the spaces provided turn over wmp jan chem

Question 3 / 5

AQA Jan 2013 Paper 4 Q5 do not write outside the box a this question concerns isomers of c h o and how they can be distinguished using n m r spectroscopy the non toxic inert substance tms is used as a standard in recording both h and c n m r spectra a i give two other reasons why tms is used as a standard in recording n m r spectra reason reason marks a ii give the structural formula of tms b the proton n m r spectrum of compound p c h o is represented in figure figure mark ppm the integration trace gave information about the five peaks as shown in figure figure ppm integration ratio wmp jan chem do not write outside the box b i use table on the data sheet figure and figure to deduce the structural fragment that leads to the peak at b ii use table on the data sheet figure and figure to deduce the structural fragment that leads to the peaks at and mark b iii use table on the data sheet figure and figure to deduce the structural fragment that leads to the peaks at and mark b iv deduce the structure of p question continues on the next page mark mark turn over wmp jan chem do not write outside the box c these questions are about different isomers of p c h o c i draw the structures of the two esters that both have only two peaks in their proton n m r spectra these peaks both have an integration ratio of ester ester c ii draw the structure of an optically active carboxylic acid with five peaks in its c n m r spectrum marks mark c iii draw the structure of a cyclic compound that has only two peaks in its c n m r spectrum and has no absorption for c o in its infrared spectrum mark wmp jan chem turn over for the next question do not write on this page answer in the spaces provided turn over wmp jan chem
