Please Note:
This test may be a bit long, but there is a reason. I would like to give you a lot
of little questions, so you can find ones you can answer and show me what you know, rather
than just a few questions that may be testing the one thing you forgot.
I recommend you
look the exam over and answer the questions you are sure of first
, then go back and try
to figure out the rest. Also make sure to
look at the point totals
on the questions as a
guide to help budget your time.
Note: You must have your answers written in
pen if you want a regrade!!!!
Please print the
first three letters
of your last name
in the three boxes
For synthesis problems GO FOR PARTIAL CREDIT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT KNOW
THE ENTIRE ANSWER!!!WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DO KNOW IS IN THE
REACTION SEQUENCE SOMEWHERE. YOU WILL GET PARTIAL CREDIT IF IT
IS CORRECT

1.
(14 points) Suppose a relative of yours is having an MRI. In no more than four sentences, explain to
them what is happening when they have the MRI scan. We wil be looking for a minumum of 7 key
points here.
The popular medical diagnostic technique of
magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)
is based on the
same principles as NMR
, namely
the
flipping (i.e. resonance) of nuclear spins of protons
by
radio
frequency irradiation
when a patient is placed in a
strong
magnetic field
.
Magnetic field gradients
are used to gain imaging
information, and
rotation of the gradient around the center of
the object
gives imaging in an entire plane
(
i.e. slice inside
patient
)
. In an MRI image, you are looking at
individual slices
that
when stacked make up the three-dimensional image
of
relative
amounts of protons
,
especially the protons from water and fat,
in the different tissues
.
2. (4 pts each) In the space provided, write the IUPAC name (including stereochemistry where
appropriate) for the following two molecules:
(
E
)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid
3. (4 pts) In the space provided, draw the following molecule:
O
OH
