Chapter 13, Problem 13.62P

Oxidation of citronellol, a constituent of rose and geranium oils, with PCC in the presence of added NaOCOCH 3 forms compound A . A has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 154 and a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 1730 cm 1 , in addition to C H stretching absorptions. Without added NaOCOCH3, oxidation of citronellol with PCC yields isopulegone, which is then converted to B with aqueous base. B has a molecular ion at 152, and a peak in its IR spectrum at 1680 cm 1 in addition to C H stretching absorptions.

A hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions. a) How many rings are in compound C? b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B? c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C? d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?
Benzonitrile (C6H5CN) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. Treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms K, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following IR absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. Treatment with a milder reducing agent forms L, which has amolecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following IR absorptions: 3086, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. L shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. Propose structures for K and L and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.
Treatment of ketone A with ethynyllithium (HC≡CLi) followed by D3O+ afforded a compound B of molecular formula C12H13DO3, which gave an IR absorption at approximately 1715 cm−1. What is the structure of B and how is it formed?
