Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the polymer formed when cyclooctene is polymerized with an appropriate metathesis catalyst is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The process by which respective monomers combine to form
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the polymer formed when norbornene is polymerized with an appropriate metathesis catalyst is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The process by which respective monomers combine to form polymers is known as polymerization. ROMP (ring-opening metathesis polymerization) is a chain-growth polymerization in which ring-opening takes place due to strain. It is also known as olefin-metathesis.

- A compound having the molecular formula C22H32O2 was isolated in 66% yield in the following reaction. Suggest a reasonable structure for this compound. What other organic compound is formed in this reaction?arrow_forwardCompound A, C3H7Br, does not react with cold dilute potassium permanganate solution. Upon treatment with potassium hydroxide in ethanol, A gives only product B, C3H6. Unlike A, B decolourises potassium permanganate solution. Ozonolysis of Bgives C, C2H4O, and D, CH2O. Suggest the structural formulae of A, B, C and D.Write the equations for all the reactions involved.arrow_forwardAn organic compound A of unknown structure was found to have a molecular formula C8H16. When A was poured in water and heated, compound B having a molecular formula C8H18O was formed. B upon heating with sulfuric acid was converted to C as the major product which is identical to A. Ozonolysis of C gave one molecule each of two different products D and E, both having a molecular formula C4H8O. Write the reactions involved and determine the structure of A,B,C,D and E.arrow_forward
- Compound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28). Sodium-ammonia reduction of compound B gave compound E (C14H26). Both C and E yielded O═CH(CH2)12CH═O on ozonolysis. Assign structures to compound A through E so as to be consistent with the observed transformations.arrow_forwardStearolic acid, C18H32O2, yields stearic acid on catalytic hydrogenation and undergoes oxidative cleavage with ozone to yield nonanoic acid and nonanedioic acid. What is the structure of stearolic acid?arrow_forwardMyristoleic acid, C14H26O2, yields myristic acid on catalytic hydrogenation and undergoes oxidative cleavage with ozone to yield pentanoic acid and nonanedioic acid. Draw the structure of Myristoleic acid.arrow_forward
- Give reaction equations for the preparation of a silane, for when silane is heated to 500C, and of hydrosilylation.arrow_forwardTwo moles of organic compound ‘A’ on treatment with a strong base gives two compounds ‘B’ and ‘C’. Compound ‘B’ on dehydrogenation with Cu gives ‘A’ while acidification of ‘C’ yields carboxylic acid ‘D’ with molecular formula of CH2O2. Identify the compounds A, B, C and D and write all chemical reactions involved.arrow_forward4. An organic was subjected to sodium fusion and the resulting Lassaigne’s extract boiled with FeSO4 and acidified with concentrated H2SO4, yielding a Prussian blue color. Give the structure of one organic compound which fits this description?arrow_forward
- An organic chemist was subjected to sodium fusion and the resulting lassaigne's extract boiled with FeSO4 and acidified with concentrated H2SO4, yielding a prussian blue color. Give the structure of one of the organic compounds which fits the description.arrow_forward3. Obtain acetophenone and acetaldehyde by reaction of glycols with periodic acid. Justify your answer with the reaction mechanism.arrow_forwardSuggest a retrosynthesis and a synthesis for one (1) of the following compounds starting from benzene or toluene. Use any other necessary reagents. Assume monosubstitution. Refer to the Table of Reagents and Solventsarrow_forward
