Question
Chapter 5, Problem 72P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The models of compound A and compound B are to be drawn and the given observation is to be explained. The allene in mycomycin is to be located and whether mycomycin is chiral or achiral is to be determined.
Concept introduction: Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share common carbon atom. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond.
