(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The types of functional groups present in estrone have to be named.

Concept introduction:

Functional groups:

The functional group is defined as an atom or group of atoms combined in a specific manner that gives the chemical properties of the organic compound and they are the main reason for the chemical reactivity of the compound.  Compounds having similar functional groups undergoes similar type of reactions.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of chiral centres present in estrone that has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Chiral centre:

Chiral centre is defined as an atom bonded to four different chemical species.  It is a stereo centre that holds the atom in such way that the structure may not be superimposable to its mirror image.  They give optical isomerism.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structural formula for the compounds (2) and (3) asked in the question have to be given.

Concept introduction:

Structural formula:

The structural formula of a compound can be defined as a graphic representation of the molecular structure showing how the atoms are arranged and the chemical bonding between the molecules is also shown explicitly or implicitly.

Retrosynthetic approach:

Retrosynthetic analysis is a technique for planning a synthesis mainly for complex organic molecules where the complex target molecule is reduced into a sequence of progressively simpler structures along a pathway which ultimately leads to the identification of a simple starting molecule or easily available from which the synthesis can be developed.

During retrosynthetic analysis the target molecule is symmetrically broken down by a combination of functional group interconversion and disconnection.  This disconnection is related to breaking of carbon-carbon bond of a molecule to generate simpler fragments.  The complete set of disconnections and functional group interconversions for a specified target molecule is what constitutes a retrosynthetic plan.

Heck reaction:

The Heck reaction is the chemical reaction of an unsaturated halide with an alkene in presence of a base and palladium catalyst to form a substituted alkene.  The reaction is as follows,

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pathway of converting compounds (2) and (3) to compound (1) has to be proposed.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereochemistry of compound (1) has to be determined assuming in compound (3) the precursor to the rings C and D of estrone, that the fusion of the rings C and D is trans and that the angular methyl group is above the plane of the ring.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pathway of conversion of tertiary butyl ether to acetone to form estrone from compound (1) has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation of secondary alcohol:

Oxidation of alcohol to carbonyl is very difficult as the reaction is so fast that it always ends up by giving acid.  Hence for secondary alcohol to get oxidised to carbonyl selectively PCC is used.

3) The following molecule, chloral is a common precursor to chloral hydrate, an acetal type molecule that was a first-generation anesthetic. Draw a mechanism that accounts for tis formation and speculate why it does not require the use of an acid catalyst, like most hemiacetal and acetal reaction: (10 pts) H H₂O
You are a Quality Manager for a very well-known food ingredient company that produces umami powder, and you are responsible for setting specification limits. The net weight (in grams) of bags of unami powder is monitored by taking samples of six bags on an hourly basis during production. The label on every bag reports a contents of 1KG umami powder. The process mean is μ = 1012 g, and when the process is properly adjusted, it varies with σ = 11 g. QUESTION: Your organisation strives to ensure that >99.97% of bags of umami powder produced conforms to specification. What performance process index value is required to achieve this process yield? Calculate PPK using the following formula: Ppk = (USL – mean)/3 σ Ppk = (mean -LSL)/ 3 σ
