The game of names…

SIR SYED COLLEGEKANNUR

1. Its proper name is ethano-bridged

noradamantane. However because it had the unusual ethano bridge, and was therefore a

variation from the standard types of structure found in the field of hydrocarbon cage

rearrangements, it came to be known as X - the "unwanted child". In fact the original paper had the title "nonacyclo-docosane, A --------- tetramantane".

what is X derived from the “offensive” word blanked out?

bastardane

2. This gets its name from the similarity

of its 2D structure to this creature. The effect is slightly lost in the 3D model, though. It's real name is:

3,4,4,5-tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

Identify the name of the compound.

penguinone

3. X is the acronym for the molecule diethyl azodicarboxylate. In addition

to resembling a X frog opened for dissection in biology class, this can make you X. It's a shock-sensitive

explosive, plus it's toxic and can give you cancer.

X?

DEAD

4.The naming was no accident, as this

paper from 1997 confirms:“Because of the resemblance of their

molecular `super-disc’ structure to the Italian ………., these discotic compounds were termed `X’.”

X?

5.This chemical got its name from the infamous

character.it is a protein found in the saliva of vampire bats. To feed, vampire bats, as the name

suggests, drink blood. Although most people assume they suck blood from their “victims,”

vampires bats actually allow their prey to bleed and then lap up the blood. When the bat bites, it injects this into its prey’s wound and prevents blood from clotting so that the prey continues to bleed and the

bat may continue to feast.Identify the name.

draculin

6.X is an organic carbon based molecule

formed of five rings, of which four are benzene rings, joined in the shape of

the ………..The molecule was conceived in March 2010

as a way to celebrate something IN 2012 by graham richards of university of

oxford and antony williams. X?

Olympicene

7.In chemistry, a this is an organic molecule containing two or more

fused cyclobutane rings. The name arises from the resemblance of a

series of fused cyclobutane rings to a ………... numerous synthetic

approaches have been developed for the synthesis of X compounds of

various lengths.What is the compound?

ladderane

8.X or  bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane is a

saturated cycloalkane with the formula C5H8. It is a colorless volatile liquid. It was named SO

because of its shape. Structurally, the molecule consists of cyclopropane fused to cyclobutane. The synthesis of molecules containing multiple

strained rings, is a traditional endeavor in synthetic organic chemistry.
