Question 8 of 31
8. Question
Category: Spectroscopy
Calculate λmax for the compound
Correct
Your calculation is spot on! You’re applying Woodward-Fieser rules to estimate the λmax (lambda max) for a conjugated diene system. Here’s a breakdown for clarity:
Base value for a homoannular diene = 253 nm
Alkyl substituents (4 total) = 4 × 5 = 20 nm
Exocyclic double bonds (2 total) = 2 × 5 = 10 nm
Additional conjugated double bond = 30 nm
Estimated λmax = 253 + 20 + 10 + 30 = 313 nm
Incorrect
