(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Isoprene units in the given set of compounds need to be circled.

Concept introduction:

Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds which share a common feature.  All terpenes are thought to be assembled from isoprene units having five carbon atoms.  So the structure of terpenes has the carbon atoms in multiples of five only.

The isoprene units are identified by following few steps namely,

  • Identify the number of isoprene units
  • Look for methyl group
  • Trial and error to find isoprene unit

To identify: the isoprene units in menthol

All of the following are allowed energy levels except _. a) 3f b) 1s c) 3d d) 5p e) 6s
A student wants to make the following product in good yield from a single transformation step, starting from benzene. Add any organic reagents the student is missing on the left-hand side of the arrow, and any addition reagents that are necessary above or below the arrow. If this product can't be made in good yield with a single transformation step, check the box below the drawing area. Note for advanced students: you may assume that an excess of benzene is used as part of the reaction conditions. : ☐ + I X This product can't be made in a single transformation step.
Predict the major products of this organic reaction:
