Label each ether and alcohol in brevenal, a marine natural product. Classify each alcohol as
Interpretation: Each ether and alcohol in brevenal is to be labeled and each alcohol is to be classified as
Concept introduction: Alcohols and ethers are the functional groups that involve
Answer to Problem 9.1P
Each ether and alcohol in brevenal is labeled as shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of brevenal (given compound) is,
Figure 1
Alcohols and ethers are the functional groups that involve
Figure 2
Alcohols are classified as
Figure 3
In Figure 3, the carbon atom of alcohol (A) is bonded to two
If the number of carbon atom bonded to the carbon atom with the hydroxyl group is one, then it is classified as
Thus, each alcohol in brevenal is classified as,
Figure 4
Each ether and alcohol in brevenal is labeled in Figure 2.
