Chapter 13, Problem 3Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

According to the terpene rule, the structure of caryophyllene needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Terpene rule or isoprene rule states that terpenoids structures are obtained by linking isoprene unit. Isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene) is the monomer of natural rubber.

Answer to Problem 3Q

The structure of caryophyllene fits in the terpene rule as caryophyllene contains a moiety which is similar to the polyisoprene unit.

Explanation of Solution

The structure of caryophyllene is represented as follows:

Polymerization of isoprene leads to a basic structure that is present in all terpenoids (shown in red). Similarly, caryophyllene also has a similar moiety (shown red) as present in terpenoids. Thus, the structure of caryophyllene fits in the terpene rule.

Predict the major products of this organic reaction: 1. LIAIHA 2. H₂O ? Note: be sure you use dash and wedge bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X : ☐
For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new C - C bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution.

As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C-C bond as its major product: 1. MgCl ? 2. H₂O* If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. This reaction will not make a product with a new CC bond. G m
