Interpretation Introduction

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 alkenes (or any other alkenes) undergo cleavage with ozone to produce a range of byproducts. The reaction cleaves the alkene into two carbonyl products with the formation of an ozonide as an intermediate. This ozonide undergoes reduction with dimethyl sulphide ( (CH3)2S ) to yield aldehyde(s).

>

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 αFarnesene undergoes ozonolysis, and reduction reaction by dimethyl sulphide, to give the products, 1 mol of a primary carbonyl (acetone), 1 mol of a secondary carbonyl (aldehyde-keto group), 1 mol of an aldol (hydroxy butanal), 1 mol of glyoxal (ethanediol), and 1 mol of formaldehyde

>

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.

3. Titanium(III) chloride can be used to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene. It is prepared by hydrogen reduction of Titanium(IV) chloride. Reaction of hydrogen gas with titanium(IV) chloride gas produces solid titanium(III) chloride and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a BALANCED chemical reaction for the preparation of titanium(III) chloride (b) A 250 L reaction vessel at 325°C is filled with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 1.3 atm. Titanium(IV) chloride is then added to bring the total pressure to 3.00 atm. How many grams of titanium(III) chloride will be produced after completion of the reaction? (c) What will be the pressure of the resulting hydrogen chloride gas that is also produced?
