Designing a Synthesis

Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis that involves the planned construction of organic compounds/molecules from smaller units that possess functional groups. Friedrich Wöhler was the first scientist who designed the synthesis of an organic…

Chapter 10, Problem 31P

(Z)-9-tricosene [ ( Z ) -CH 3 ( CH 2 ) 7 CH=CH ( CH 2 ) 12 CH 3 ] is the sex pheromone of the femalehousefly. Synthetic (Z)-9-tricosene is used as bait to lure male flies to traps thatcontaininsecticide. Using acetylene and alcohols of your choice as starting materials, along withany necessary inorganic reagents, show how you could prepare (Z)-9-tricosene .

1. Ethylene glycol, a major component of antifreeze, becomes especially poisonous when it is oxidized by the liver. Draw two oxidation products that could be derived from ethylene glycol. 2.When 2-methyl-1-butanol is dehydrated in an acid medi- um to an alkene, it yelds mainly 2-methyl-2-butene rather than 2-methyl-1-butene. This indicates that the dehydra- tion to an alkene is at least a two-step reaction. Suggest a mechanism to explain the reaction.

(Z)-9-Tricosene [(Z)-CH3(CH2)7CH CH(CH2)12CH3] is the sex pheromone of the female housefly. Synthetic (Z)-9-tricosene is used as bait to lure male flies to traps that contain insecticide. Using acetylene and alcohols of your choice as starting materials, along with any necessary inorganic reagents, show how you could prepare (Z)-9-tricosene.

Nitromethane is reacted with ethyl prop-2-enoate with EtO-Na+, EtOH 3 equivalents to give the product X(C16). X then reacts with H2/Raney Ni to give the product Y(C14), which in turn reacts with Na to give Z (C12). Indicate which products X, Y and Z are.
