Chapter 16, Problem 47P
Dutch elm disease is caused by a fungus transmitted to elm trees by the elm bark beetle. The female beetle, when she has located an attractive elm tree, releases several pheromones, including multistriatin, below. These pheromones attract male beetles, which bring with them the deadly fungus.
Treating multistriatin with dilute aqueous acid at room temperature leads to the formation of a product,

Ants emit tiny amounts of chemicals called alarm pheromones to warn other ants (of the same species) of the presence of an enemy. Several of the components of the pheromone in one species have been identified, and two of their structures follow. Which compound has the infrared spectrum shown? -0 -O Citral Citronellal 12025 1720 cm"1 2. The main constituent of cinnamon oil has the formula C9H8O. From the following infrared spectrum, deduce the structure of this component. 1677 cm 1200 1000 3. The infrared spectra of cis- and trans-3-hexen-1-ol follow. Assign a structure to each spectrum.
Two useful organic compounds that contain Cl atoms are vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCl) and chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl). Vinyl chloride is the starting material used to prepare poly(vinyl chloride), a plastic used in insulation, pipes, and bottles. Chloroethane (ethyl chloride) is a tica roman local anesthetic. Why is the C–Cl bond of vinyl chloride stronger than the C–Cl bond in chloroethane ?
