Fizal619 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi guys, So I've been googling around and cant seem to find one bit of info I need. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to find my answer. I need to know the resonance form of 1e-1-methoxyprop-1-ene and I can't seem to find it anywhere... Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndresKiani Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Being that you can't break Sigma bonds and can only reform Pi bonds. This will not have another important resonance structure. Looking at that molecule, however.. it is not incorrect to say that the Pi bond on the 2 - 3 carbon on propene group, can be switched over to that other side with C3 - Oxygen. This will give oxygen a positive charge but will not be incorrect. (My ChemSketch program is not working so I wouldn't be able to show you visually unfortunately) This however is known as a very unimportant resonance structure and is only implemented to show polarity. Also, please stick around on the forum. As I see you only have had one post. I like to encourage you to be an active member on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altered State Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (My ChemSketch program is not working so I wouldn't be able to show you visually unfortunately) I can do that for you However, as AndresKiani already stated, the second one would be a minor contributor. The original structure would make a much more accurate representation of the real molecule electronic distributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
