Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given an optically active alcohol, A has the molecular formula C11H16O. It does not adsorb any hydrogen during catalytic reduction in the presence of Pd. It gets dehydrated when treated with dilute sulphuric acid to yield an optically inactive alkene, B (C11H14). The alkene B yields propanol, CH3CH2CHO and a ketone, C (C8H8O). The number of degrees of unsaturation in A is to be calculated. A, B and C are to be identified and the reactions are to be written.

Concept introduction:

The degree of unsaturation in a compound can be calculated by considering the molecular formula of the compound and its parent hydrocarbon. Any compound with a chiral centre will be optically active. Alcohols undergo dehydration when warmed with dilute sulphuric acid. During ozonolysis the double bond is cleaved to yield carbonyl compounds. If the doubly bonded carbon is disubstituted then ketones are produced and if the doubly bonded carbon is monoisubstituted then aldehydes are produced.

To calculate:

The number of degrees of unsaturation in compound A.

To identify:

The structures of compounds A, B and C.

To write:

The reactions given.
