Chapter 25, Problem 20P

Pyrethrins are a group of naturally occurring insecticidal substances found in the flowers of various plants of the chrysanthemum family. The following is the structure of a typical pyrethrin, cinerin I (exclusive of stereochemistry):

Chapter 25, Problem 20P, Pyrethrins are a group of naturally occurring insecticidal substances found in the flowers of

(a) Locate any isoprene units present in cinerin I.

(b) Hydrolysis of cinerin I gives an optically active carboxylic acid, ( + ) -chrysanthemic acid . Ozonolysis of ( + ) -chrysanthemic acid , followed by oxidation, gives acetone and an optically active dicarboxylic acid, ( ) -caronic acid  ( C 7 H 10 O 4 ) . What is the structure of ( ) -caronic acid  ? Are the two carboxyl groups cis or trans to each other? What does this information tell you about the structure of ( + ) -chrysanthemic acid ?
