Chapter 22, Problem 45P

β Vetivone is isolated from vetiver, a perennial grass that yields a variety of compounds used in traditional eastern medicine, pest control, and fragrance. In one synthesis, ketone A is converted to β vetivone by a two-step process: Michael reaction, followed by intramolecular aldol reaction. (a) What Michael acceptor is needed for the conjugate addition? (See problem 23.61 for another method to form the bicyclic ring system of β vetivone) (b) Draw a stepwise mechanism for the aldol reaction, which forms six-membered ring.

A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.
Acyclovir is an effective antiviral agent used to treat the herpes simplexvirus. (a) Draw the enol form of acyclovir, and explain why it is aromatic.(b) Why is acyclovir typically drawn in its keto form, despite the fact thatits enol is aromatic?
Compound A has molecular formula C7H15B.. Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product (compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.
