(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint.

Interpretation: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint is to be identified.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells like spearmint.

Interpretation: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells spearmint is to be identified.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non-super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The information that can be added to the answers in (a) and (b) with the help of the given drawings of carvone.

Interpretation: The information that can be added to the answers in (a) and (b) with the help of the given drawings of carvone is to be stated.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non-super imposable.

For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new CC bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. ?

Predicting As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C - C bond as its major product: H₂N O H 1. ? 2. H3O+ If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. 0 If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. فا Explanation Check Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
