- Oropheic acid is the common name of a naturally occurring acetylenic carboxylic acid having the molecular formula C18H22O2. Its systematic name is 17-octadecene-9,11,13-triynoic acid. What is its structural formula?arrow_forwardThree products with the molecular formula C6 H4BrCl form when bromobenzene is treated with chlorine, Cl2, in the presence of FeCl3 as a catalyst. Name and draw a structural formula for each product.arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give hydrocarbon B. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give the glycol C. When oxidized with KMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH, and the other fragment is ketone D (R2C=O). What are the structures of A, B, C and D? Write all reactions.arrow_forward
