Chapter 8, Problem 49PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compound A structure is needed to be found by using the given reaction conditions (ozonolysis). In addition, products upon treatment with MCPBA and ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$.

Concept introduction:

• Ozonolysis: ozonolysis is a process of treating alkene with ozone and DMS to get respective carbonyl compounds. : in this process, double bond(s) present in alkene is dissociates two carbonyl groups
• This ozonolysis process proceeds via ozonide intermediate, this intermediate further transformed to carbonyl compounds in DMS.
• Anti-dihydroxylation: anti- dihydroxylation is a process of adding two –OH groups from different planes to the alkene. Peroxy acids are needed for this process.
