Question by M-Z: help! aromatic carbonyl compounds…?
(A) is a mono-substituted aromatic carbonyl compound, optically inactive, of formula C9H10O, which
has been evaluated as a drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

thank you so much.

– (A) gives a positive silver mirror test with Tollens’ reagent.
– (A) is oxidised to (B) by Fehling’s solution.
– (B) reacts with methanol in the presence of H+ catalyst to give (C) of formula C10H12O2 and water.
– (A) reacts with hydrazine (NH2-NH2) to give (D) of formula C9H12N2 and water.

Identify (A), (B), (C) and (D) giving structures and a brief explanation on how you arrived at those
structures.

Answer by Zor Prime
Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy

(A) is an AROMATIC COMPOUND HAVING EMPIRICAL FORMULA C8H10O. I may suppose a lot of possible isomers….
IS (A) AN ALCOHOL? AN ETHER? AN CARBONYLIC COMPOUND?
Really, there is a set of experimental overcomes which leads me to determinate molecular structure of (A).

CLUE N.1)
IT RESULTS A CARBONYLIC COMPOUND, then I HAVE TO EXCLUDE “Cyclic Acetals” AND “Benzopyran Alcohols” ; “Ethers” are yet excluded by empirical formula itself.

CLUE N.2)
IT RESULTS OPTICALLY INACTIVE, then it hasn’t Chiral Centers and I CAN’T CONSIDER “Alpha-Phenyl-Propanal”.

CLUE N.3)
IT GET POSITIVE REMARK TO Tollens’ Test, the I CAN’T CONSIDER KETONEs LIKE “Phenyl-propanone”.

CLUE N.4)
IT GET POSITIVE REMARK TO Fehling’s Test, the I HAVE TO CONSIDER AROMATIC ALDEHYDEs LIKE “Beta-Phenyl-Propanal”.
Now, “BETA-PHENYL-PROPANAL” is (A) and it has to turn into (B) LIKE “BETA-PHENYL-PROPANOIC ACID”.

Question by Sandra D: Eviction in Sober living Facility?
I asked this before, but no one answered with any detail, and to be frank, I think some were guesses. I would like a legal explanation from someone as to why this is allowed or not allowed.

Basically, I work with someone who lives at a “sober-living facility.” It is very informal, and is sponsored or organized by some local organization, but it’s not like a halfway or rehab facility. This is a place for women to live and support each other, and encourage each other.
Halfway houses are different LEGALLY. I have found nothing to indicate sober living houses are (from a regular informal renting. I do know the woman signed a contract saying she would not use drugs or alcohol. She has not, and has not broken any rules. She is still trying to do everything right, but people are nitpicking her and only her for weird weird stuff.

Can they legally toss her out the moment they decide too? I know it is illegal for anyone but a special eviction person to throw someone out, but usually you have to go through a court process for that. How long will she have to find a new place, if any time? She is legally a tenant because she pays a monthly fee in exchange for possession/usage of a real property, right? Because explain LEGALITY, and why this would differ from any other tenant situation if it does.

Answer by laughter_every_day
There are no universal laws on any subject. In my state, the evictions rules would by the rules for rooming houses and hotels, not the rules for apartments. The eviction process is very simplified in rooming houses.
