Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that myrcene is isomeric with β-ocimene with molecular formula C10H16 has UV absorption maxima 226 nm. On catalytic hydrogenation it gives 2,6-dimethyloctane. Upon ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn and acetic acid it gives formaldehyde, acetone and 2-oxopentanediol. The structure for myrcene is to be proposed and the reactions are to be given showing the starting materials and products.
Concept introduction:
The UV absorption at 226 nm indicates a conjugated system. The
To propose:
Based on the data the structure for myrcene and to give the reactions showing the starting materials and products.
