After studying biochemistry all day and night, you fall into a coma-like sleep for 12 hours. After a few hours of not eating, your body starts to say, “Hey, there is a low amount of glucose in my bloodstream, and my muscles that are keeping me alive right now are getting hungry for some energy production. I think I’ll let my pancreas secrete the hormone, glucagon, to go tell my liver and muscle cells to affect their carbohydrate metabolism.” Outline what happens after the glucagon binds to receptors on the outside of your liver/muscle cells. Make sure to mention all of the effected enzymes and major processes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

Cloth can be waterproofed by coating it with a silicone layer. This is done by exposing the cloth to (CH3)2 SiCl2 vapor. The silicon compound reacts with OH groups on the cloth to form a waterproofing film (density = 1.0 g/cm3) of [(CH3)2SiO]n, where n is a large integer number. The coating is added layer by layer, with each layer of [(CH3)2SiO]n being 0.60 nm thick. Suppose you want to waterproof a piece of cloth that is 5.00 square meters, and you want 290 layers of waterproofing compound on the cloth. What mass of (CH3)2SiCl2 do you need?

In today experiment you will perform the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone to synthesize a mixture of cis- and trans- 4-t-butylcyclohexanol. Answer the following questions regarding this reaction:

1.The reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride is a stereoselective reaction. What does this mean, in terms of the products that were isolated?

2. Why the reduction is done in methanol and not in water?

3. Why in the reaction a very big excess of NaBH₄ will be used?

4.Compare and contrast the (A) reductive abilities of LiAlH₄ with those of NaBH₄, and, (B) compatibility of the two reducing agents with protic solvents (water, alcohols). Use as reference internet sources and your lecture manual. After the comparison, decide why NaBH₄ was used in the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (your experiment) rather than LiAlH₄.

5.After the reduction the product mixture is quenched with cold dilute HCl. Why do we do that?

6.To isolate the reaction product you will perform an extraction. What solvent will be used for extraction and what layer is on the bottom? Circle the correct response:   Et₂O,   H₂O,   CH₂Cl₂, pentane.

7. What is the purpose of adding anhydrous Na₂SO₄ in step 8 of the procedure, before the filtration of the combined CH₂Cl₂ extracts?

8. Why do you expect cis- and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol to be separable by GC? Do you expect more cis- or trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol?

9. Is the reaction thermodynamically or kinetically controlled?

10.Calculate the theoretical and actual % yield for the reduction of 50.0 mg 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (MW = 154.3 mg/mmol) with excess NaBH₄ to obtain 30.0 mg of product (MW = 156.3 mg/mmol). Show your calculations with the proper units.
