An optically active monoterpene (compound A) with molecular formula C10H18O undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to form an optically inactive compound with molecular formula C10H20O (compound B). When compound B is heated with acid, followed by reaction with O3 and then with dimethyl sulfide, one of the products obtained is 4-methylcyclohexanone. Give possible structures for compounds A and B.
Compound A (C11H23Br) is a secondary alkyl halide. On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having molecular formula C11H22. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3,5-diethylheptane.
Draw structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.
Compound P (C2H4) which is an alkene undergoes reaction with HCl to produce compound Q (C2H5Cl). Reaction of compound Q with benzene in the presence of AlCl3 as catalyst produces compound R. Then, nitration of compound R in the presence ofnH2SO4 produces two compounds, S and T. But when compound R is reacted with a hot acidified solution of alkaline KMnO4 gives compound U. Deduce the structure of compounds P to U.
