Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
At what positions the terpenoid guaiol will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which they are synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).
Concept introduction:
In the formation of terpenes every fourth carbon of one dimethylallyl phosphate (formed by the isomerization of isopentyl diphosphate) combines with the first carbon of the isopentyl phosphate molecule. Hence if the diphosphate bearing carbon is labeled, every fourth carbon in a terpene will be a labeled carbon.
To give:
The positions at which the terpenoid guaiol will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which it is synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).
b)
Interpretation:
At what positions the terpenoid sabinene will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which they are synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).

- PLEASE help. Locate a literature IR spectrum of eugenol. Insert the literature spectrum here: What conclusions can you draw about your clove oil from these IR spectra? I attached my data belowarrow_forwardplease help and the percent recovery of clove oil from cloves is 4.61% and i have attached my ir spectrum as well. Based on your GC data, how many components are in the clove oil? Calculate the percentage of each component. Clearly show your work. Which of the components corresponds to eugenol? How do you know? Is eugenol the major component?arrow_forwardplease help and i am so confused if the picture is the gc data or ir spectrum. you dont have to do everything just what you can please because i am lost and the mass of the cloves was Mass of cloves 62.299g. Mass of recovered clove oil 62.761g.arrow_forward
