Hydrocarbon A has the molecular formula C14H10C12. It absorbs eight molar equivalents of
any hydrogen isotope using a Nickel catalyst. When subjected to ozonolysis, Compound A
yields oxalic acid and the chiral chloropentane dioic acid. Write the reactions and propose
a structure for A.
A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.
Vitamin D3, the most abundant of the D vitamins, is synthesized from 7-dehydrocholesterol, a compound found in milk and fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel. When the skin is exposed to sunlight, a photochemical electrocyclic ring opening forms provitamin D3, which is then converted to vitamin D3 by a sigmatropic rearrangement (Section 27.5). Draw the structure of provitamin D3.

(Hint: that sentence alone completely determines the structure of A!

While Friedel Crafts alkylation of compound A produces compound D. This compound D was oxidised to produce compound E, C9H§O3 as a major product. Compound F, C10H1002, was produced by Friedel Crafts acylation of compound A. This compound F reacts positively with alkaline iodine and 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine.

The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.arrow_forward
