Chapter 11, Problem 11.76P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The functional group in spermaceti wax should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A group of atoms or an atom which is responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound is said to be the functional group. Every functional group shows distinctive chemical properties irrespective to the moiety to which it is attached.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The solubility properties of spermaceti wax with water and organic solvents should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The solubility of a molecule depends on the polarity of the solvent and solution that means like dissolve like. In other words, the polar molecule is soluble in polar solvent only and in non-polar solvents, the soluble molecule will be non-polar in nature.

Vanillin, C8H8O3, is the active ingredient in vanilla flavoring. It contains a six-membered aromatic ring with an aldehyde group on carbon 1, an alkoxy group (ether) on carbon 3, and a hydroxyl group (alcohol) on carbon 4. Draw the structure of vanillin.
Draw the structure of a hydrocarbon with molecular formula C6H10 that also contains: (a) a carbon–carbon triple bond; (b) two carbon–carbon double bonds; (c) one ring and one C=C.
(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called "andro," from the following description. Andro contains the tetracyclic steroid skeieton with carbonyl groups at C3 and C17, a double bond between C4 and C5, and methyl groups bonded to C10 and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashes for all stereogenic centers with the following information: the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other.
