Interpretation:
The products obtained when the given terpenes are subjected to ozonolysis and then treated with dimethyl sulphide are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
>The essential oils are odoriferous chemicals that are extracted from plants by heating or distillation. These essential oils have important chemical composition of hydrocarbons called terpenes and oxygen-containing compounds called terpenoids. The monoterpene unit is made up of two or more 5-Carbon atoms.
>The ozone is a powerful oxidant and the terpenoid
The ozonolysis of myrcene produces 1 mol of monoterpene, 2 mols of formaldehyde, and 1 mol of acetone.
>The limonene undergoes ozonolysis and reduction process to yield the products, 1 mol of formaldehyde and 1 mol of monoterpene.
>The
The geraniol undergoes ozonolysis followed by reduction reaction by dimethyl sulphide to produce 1 mol of a primary carbonyl (acetone), 1 mol of a secondary carbonyl (aldehyde-keto group), and 1 mol of glyoxal (ethanediol).
>The products formed by the reaction of ozone and dimethyl sulphide with squalene are 2 mols of acetone, 1 mol of hydroxy-aldehyde, and 4 mols of a ketal.

- (c) The sedative, R-thalidomide, was once used to address symptoms of morning sickness in expectant mothers, however, when it was discovered that S- thalidomide causes deformities in infants, the use of R-thalidomide as a sedative was discontinued. With the help of a reaction mechanism, explain why enantiopure R-thalidomide can not be safely used as a sedative without affecting infantsarrow_forwardPractice Problem 19.54 Z Your answer is partially correct.
