Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given question stated that the sex attractant of the housefly has the formula C23H26 and when it is treated with warm potassium permanganate, it gives two products: CH3(CH2)12COOH and CH3(CH2)7COOH. The structure for the sex attractant and the part of the structure that is uncertain is to be suggested.

The sex attractant of the housefly has the formula C23H46. When treated with warm potassium permanganate, this pheromone gives two products: CH3(CH2)12COOH and CH3(CH2)7COOH. Suggest a structure for this sex attractant. Explainwhich part of the structure is uncertain
Hydrocarbon X has the formula C6H12.X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form a product having 12 primary hydrogens.Treatment of X with ozone followed by zinc in aqueous acid gives a mixture two aldehydes.What is the structure of X?
A dibromide loses only one bromine when it reacts with sodium hydroxide. The dibromide forms toluene 1C6H5 @CH32 when it reacts with magnesiumshavings in ether followed by treatment with dilute acid. Give possible structures for the dibromide.
