Chapter 8, Problem 8.61SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given question stated that one of the constituent of turpentine is $\alpha -\text{pinene}$ with formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{10}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$. The structure of $\alpha -\text{pinene}$ and the product from A to E in the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Ozonolysis is the oxidative cleavage of the double bond, where $\text{C=C}$ bond breaks and hence formation of $\text{C}-\text{O}$ bond takes place. During oxidative cleavage, ketone or aldehyde formation takes place.

To determine: The product from A to E in the given reaction.
