Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of isoprene units into which lanosterol can be divided are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lanosterol is derived from squalene, a molecule that contains six isoprene units. An isoprene unit is a five carbon unit containing an isopropyl group at one end.
During the conversion to lanosterol, methyl groups from two isoprene units of squaleneare are believed to shift locations. This means two of the isoprene units in squalene can no longer be distinctly identified in lanosterol.

- What is the IUPAC name of the compound shown here? (view attatchement) **FIRST TIME YOU ANSWERE THIS WAS WRONG, please help with correct answer. The answer you gave me before was 1,4-dimethylcyclobut-1-ene but is was WRONG . This is what the paragraph also said next to the question "Alkanes are called saturated hydrocarbons because each carbon atom has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms. In contrast, alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds that reduce the number of hydrogen atoms in the compound. When naming unsaturated hydrocarbons, a suffix reflects the type of multiple bond in the compound: ene is used for alkenes (double bond), and yne is used for alkynes (triple bond). For cyclic alkenes and alkynes, the ring is numbered such that the double or triple bond is between the first two carbon atoms. For straight-chain molecules, the numbering starts at one end of the chain, so the location of the double or triple bond must be…arrow_forwardRequirement 3: Consider the structure of 1-bromobutane. If compare the structures of BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 and CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂Br, they look different. Sometimes, we are given two identical structural formulas that are drawn differently, and we must recognize they are identical and classify them accordingly. In other words, two compounds with the same molecular formula may not be isomers; they may be the same compound. Thus, when we encounter two compounds with the same molecular formula, we must determine if the molecules represent the same compound or isomers. Consider 1-bromobutane written as BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 and as CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂Br. If you rotate one of the molecules by 180°, it will match atom-per-atom with the other molecule. Two compounds are identical only if their molecules match atom-per-atom in three dimensions. When two molecules with the same molecular formula match atom-per-atom in three dimensions, they are superposable. Superposable means that, when one molecule is placed on top of…arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the 3 isomers of C8H18 that contain 3 methyl branches on the main chain, 2 of which are on the same carbon.arrow_forward
