Treatment of compound A (C8H17Br) with NaOCH2CH3 affords two constitutional isomers B and C. Ozonolysis of B affords CH2=O and (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Ozonolysis of C affords CH3CH2CH2COCH3 and CH3CH2CHO. What is the structure of A?
Muscalure is the sex attractant of the common housefly. Flies are lured to traps filled with bait thatcontain muscalure and an insecticide. Eating the bait is fatal. How could you synthesize muscalure using 1-bromopentane as one of the starting materials?
Although diazomethane (CH2N2) is often not a useful reagent forpreparing cyclopropanes, other diazo compounds give good yields ofmore complex cyclopropanes. Draw a stepwise mechanism for theconversion of diazo compound A to B, an intermediate in the synthesisof sirenin, the sperm attractant produced by the female gametes of thewater mold Allomyces.

Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.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).
