Chapter 26.8, Problem 4LTS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Isoprene units in camphor need to be identified.

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.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRYPKGDRL+MLCRL MDL, Chapter 26.8, Problem 4LTS

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 camphor
