Question
Chapter 27.SE, Problem 38AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanistic pathway for the biosynthesis of isoborneol involving a carbocation rearrangement is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the biosynthesis of isoborneol from linalyl diphosphate are i) Ring closure by attack of the double bond to yield a carbocation. ii) Attack of another double bond on the carbocation to produce a bicyclic carbocation iii) Nucleophilic attack by water iv) Deprotonation.
To propose:
A mechanistic pathway for the biosynthesis of isoborneol involving a carbocation rearrangement.

A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.
y-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?
