Concept explainers
Interpretation:
According to the terpene rule, the structure of caryophyllene needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Terpene rule or isoprene rule states that terpenoids structures are obtained by linking isoprene unit. Isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene) is the monomer of natural rubber.
Answer to Problem 3Q
The structure of caryophyllene fits in the terpene rule as caryophyllene contains a moiety which is similar to the polyisoprene unit.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of caryophyllene is represented as follows:
The
Polymerization of isoprene leads to a basic structure that is present in all terpenoids (shown in red). Similarly, caryophyllene also has a similar moiety (shown red) as present in terpenoids. Thus, the structure of caryophyllene fits in the terpene rule.

- Sodium hydroxide was used to help separate benzoic acid and fluorenone because deprotonated benzoic acid (sodium benzoate) favorably partitions into the aqueous phase (and fluorenone does not).
