Chlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?
One compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?
Compound A, C9H16 reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen on catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment. What is the structure for A?
Oximene and myrcene, two hydrocarbons isolated from alfalfa that have the molecular formula C10H16, both yield 2,6- dimethyloctane when treated with H2 and a Pd catalyst. Ozonolysis of oximene forms (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, CH2(CHO)2, and CH3COCHO. Ozonolysis of myrcene yields (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, (two equiv), and HCOCH2CH2COCHO. Identify the structures of oximene and myrcene.
An organic compound A (C2H3N) is used as a solvent of choice for many organic reactions because it is not reactive in mild acidic and basic conditions. Compound A on treatment with Ni/ H2 forms B. When B is treated with nitrous acid at 273K ethanol is obtained. When B is warmed with chloroform and NaOH a foul smelling compound C formed. Identify A, B and C.
Compounds A and B are isomers having molecular formula C5H12. Heating A with Cl2 gives a single product of monohalogenation, whereas heating B under the same conditions forms three constitutional isomers. What are thestructures of A and B?
Please draw out the structures of compound A, B and C. Compound A, B and C have the same molecular formula C4H6. All of the compounds can make bromine decolored. Compound A reacts with AgNO3 in ammonia solution to form white solid. Compound B undergoes cycloaddition reaction with maleic anhydride at room temperature. Compound C is oxidized with KMN04 to only give one quivalent of carboxylic acid. Please write out the structures of compound A, B and C.
