(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mechanism of compound are synthesized by the use of only provided carbon-containing compounds has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Required compounds are synthesized by the use of only provided carbon-containing compounds through a series of steps.

In first case, given alcohol is oxidized to a ketone. A strong base is added to the ketone. Aldol condensation reaction takes place. The aldol product is reduced and the final compound is obtained.

In second case, given alcohol is oxidized to a ketone. A strong base is added to the ketone. Aldol condensation reaction takes place. Hydrazine in alcoholic potassium hydroxide is added in the aldol condensation product to remove the carbonyl group. The intermediate alkene is reduced to give the final compound.

In third case, ethanol is oxidized to acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde undergoes aldol addition reaction in presence of a strong base. Aldol addition product is reduced to form a diol compound 1. Other alcohol is oxidized to an acetone and converted to diol compound 2. Compound 1 and 2 combine to form the final product and two molecules of water are reduced.

please help and the percent recovery of clove oil from cloves is 4.61% and i have attached my ir spectrum as well. Based on your GC data, how many components are in the clove oil? Calculate the percentage of each component. Clearly show your work. Which of the components corresponds to eugenol? How do you know? Is eugenol the major component?
please help and i am so confused if the picture is the gc data or ir spectrum. you dont have to do everything just what you can please because i am lost and the mass of the cloves was Mass of cloves 62.299g. Mass of recovered clove oil 62.761g.
Which compound would you expect to have a higher decomposition temperature,Na2CO3 or Cs2CO3? Justify your answer, but you do not need to do any calculations.
