11. The following molecules are best represented as the hybrid of contributing structures. Draw the second important contributing structure in the space provided, including all lone pairs and formal charges. For the structure on the left, use arrows to indicate the movement of electrons to give the structure you drew. Finally, if one of the two contributing structures makes a dominant (major) contribution to the resonance hybrid, draw a circle around the dominant (major) contributor. You might want to read these directions again to make sure you know what we want.

12. (10 pts each) The following molecules are best represented as the hybrid of three contributing structures. Draw the second and third important contributing structures in the spaces provided, including all lone pairs and formal charges. For the two structures on the left in each problem, use arrows to indicate the movement of electrons to give the structures you drew. There is no need to draw any circles around any of these contributing strucures. You might want to read these directions again to make sure you know what we want.

17 (cont.) The drug Etoposide is a chemotherapeutic agent that has been used against a number of cancers over the years. It operates by inhibiting an enzyme called topoisomerase that is required for DNA replication. Cancer cells need to replicate faster than normal cells, so drugs like Etoposide can be used to kill cancer selectively. Look at Etoposide and identify the three acetals and one lactone.

resonance stabilized anion
oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen
Iodine is a larger anion than chloride
In each case identify the stronger and weaker acids by comparing relative stabilities of the anions which are the conjugate bases of the two acids. Equilibrium favors formation of the weaker acid. You will notice this means you circled the side with the more stable anion.

At pH 7, the amine is protonated and the carboxylic acid is deprotonated, as can be predicted based on the relevant pKa vaules in Table 4.1. Use the methylammonium ion pKa value (10.64) and the acetic acid pKa value (4.76) as reference values and compare those to the pH value of 7.
