Chapter 11, Problem 89P(choose chapter or problem)
Corn is a valuable source of industrial chemicals. For example, furfural is prepared from corncobs. It is an important reactant in plastics manufacturing and a key solvent for the production of cellulose acetate, which is used to make everything from videotape to waterproof fabric. It can be reduced to furfuryl alcohol or oxidized to \(2\)-furoic acid.
(a) Which of these compounds can form H bonds? Draw structures in each case.
(b) The molecules of some substances can form an “internal” H bond, that is, an H bond within a molecule. This takes the form of a polygon with atoms as corners and bonds as sides and an H bond as one of the sides. Which of these molecules is (are) likely to form a stable internal H bond? Draw the structure. (Hint: Structures with \(5\) or \(6\) atoms as corners are most stable.)

ANSWER:
Solution 89P
Step 1
(a) Here we have to show which of these compounds can form H bonds along with that we have to draw the structure of each ball and stick model.
Hydrogen bond is defined as the force of attraction arises between highly electronegative atom (O, F and N) and the H-atom.
Among the three given molecules both 2-furoic acid and furfuryl alcohol can form H-bond. There structures are given below,
