Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structural formula of (10E,12Z)-10,12-hexadecadien-1-ol has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

IUPAC nomenclature:

  • • Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the root name.
  • • Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
  • • Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
  • • Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.

Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having at least one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.

The systematic name of alkenes are written by replacing “ane” of alkane with the suffix name “ene”. Numbering of the main chain should be in such away that alkene group must get lowest possible numbers.

E configuration: The geometric isomers are given E configuration if high priority groups are placed on opposite sides of the bond.

Z configuration: The geometric isomers are given Z configuration if high priority groups are placed on same sides of the bond.

Citronellol ((3R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol, C10H20O) is an organic fragrance found in the oil extracted from lemon grass. a) Name the two functional groups present in the molecule.  b) When a few drops of bromine dissolved in hexane is added to a sample of citronellol the brown colour of the bromine rapidly disappears. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred? ii. Draw the structure of the product formed. iii. Name the product.  c) The product formed when citronellol is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid gives a yellow/orange precipitate when shaken with Brady’s reagent (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine). It also shows a positive result with Fehling’s solution. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred ? ii. What type of functional group is present in the product?  d) Explain the type of stereoisomerism which may occur in citronellol.
In an advanced synthetic chemistry experiment, a researcher prepares a compound, ZY-7, by reacting a ketone (C5H100) with hydroxylamine (NH2OH), followed by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst. The resulting compound, ZY-7, is then treated with a solution of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric acid (HCI) at low temperature. Identify the class of compound that ZY-7 most likely belongs to after this series of reactions." A) Amide B) Oxime C) Nitro compound D) Diazonium salt E) Ester Don't use chatgpt please provide valuable answer
Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octet
