(a)
Interpretation:
The given reactions are final steps in one industrial synthesis of vitamin A acetate.
The mechanism has to be proposed for the acid-catalyzed cyclization in step-1.
Concept Introduction:
The ring cyclization occurs when an acyclic molecule reacts with acid. by the abstraction of proton from the acid molecule, internal bond shifting occurs to form the cyclization product.

If (3R,4R)-3,4-dichloro-2,5-dimethylhexane and (3R,4S)-3,4-dichloro-2,5-dimethylhexane are in a solution at the same concentration, would this solution be expected to rotate plane polarized light (that is, be optically active)? Please provide your reasoning for your answer. [If you read this problem carefully, you will not need to draw out the structures to arrive at your answer...]arrow_forward1. How many neighbors does the proton that produces the multiplet below have? 2. 3. اللـ Draw a partial structure from the multiplet below.

- 1) Suppose 0.1 kg ice at 0°C (273K) is in 0.5kg water at 20°C (293K). What is the change in entropy of the ice as it melts at 0°? To produce the original "water gas" mixture, carbon (in a combustible form known as coke) is reacted with steam: 131.4 kJ + H20(g) + C(s) → CO(g) + H2(g) From this information and the equations in the previous problem, calculate the enthalpy for the combustion or carbon to form carbon dioxide. kindly show me how to solve this long problem. Thanksarrow_forward4. An 'H-NMR of a compound is acquired. The integration for signal A is 5692 and the integration for signal B is 25614. What is the simplest whole number ratio of protons for signals A and B? (Show your work!!!) 5. Assign the carbons in the NMR below as either carbonyl, aromatic, or alkyl. 200 150 100 50 ō (ppm) 1arrow_forwardSpeaking of composite materials, indicate the correct option:(A). Composite materials can only be: metal-polymer or polymer-polymer.(B). Composite materials can be made up of particles, but not fibers or sheets.(C). When the reinforcing particles are uniformly distributed in a composite material, there may be a greater tendency for it to have isotropic properties.(D). None of the above is correct.arrow_forward
- If we are talking about viscoelastic modulus or viscoelastic relaxation modulus in polymers, indicate the correct option.(A). It reports the variation of elastic behavior as a function of time.(B). It is only useful for defining its glass transition temperature.(C). It only allows us to define the polymer degradation temperature.(D). Neither option is correct.arrow_forwardWhen natural light falls perpendicularly on a material A, it has a reflectivity of 0.813%. Indicate the value of the refractive index.arrow_forwardIn piezoelectricity and piezoelectric ceramics, one of the following options is false:(A). Piezoelectricity allows an electrical signal to be transformed into a mechanical one.(B). PbZrO3 is a well-known piezoelectric ceramic.(C). Piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity in general have no relationship.(D). One of the applications of piezoelectricity is sonar.arrow_forward
