Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octet

Citronellol ((3R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol, C10H20O) is an organic fragrance found in the oil extracted from lemon grass. a) Name the two functional groups present in the molecule. b) When a few drops of bromine dissolved in hexane is added to a sample of citronellol the brown colour of the bromine rapidly disappears. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred? ii. Draw the structure of the product formed. iii. Name the product. c) The product formed when citronellol is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid gives a yellow/orange precipitate when shaken with Brady’s reagent (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine). It also shows a positive result with Fehling’s solution. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred ? ii. What type of functional group is present in the product? d) Explain the type of stereoisomerism which may occur in citronellol.

A solid sticky substance which strongly repels water is made of the following molecules: CH3 (CH2)5 — || (CH2)14-CH3 If it is treated with sulfuric acid and heat, two new substances can be recovered. One is an alcohol. Write the chemical formula of the alcohol. Give the common (not IUPAC) name of the other substance. 0
