Cembrene, C20H32, is a diterpenoid hydrocarbon isolated from pine resin. Cembrene has a UV absorption at 245 nm, but dihydrocembrene (C20H34), the product of hydrogenation with 1 equivalent of H2, has no UV absorption. On exhaustive hydrogenation, 4 equivalents of H2 react, and octahydrocembrene, C20H40, is produced. On ozonolysis of cembrene, followed by treatment of the ozonide with zinc, four carbonylcontaining products are obtained: Propose a structure for cembrene that is consistent with its formation from geranylgeranyl diphosphate.

Over the past several decades, chemists have developed a number of synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of steroid hormones. One of these, developed by Lutz Tietze at the Institut für Organische Chemie der Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany, used a double Heck reaction to create ring B of the steroid nucleus. As shown in the following retrosynthetic analysis, a key intermediate in his synthesis is compound (1). Two Heck reaction disconnects of this intermediate give compounds (2) and (3). Compound (2) contains the aromatic ring that becomes ring A of estrone. Compound (3) contains the fused five- and six-membered rings that become rings C and D of estrone.
Q.Propose structural formulas for compounds (2) and (3).
