Question
Chapter 30.SE, Problem 32AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The pericyclic reaction involved in the synthesis of karahanaenone shown is to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
Sigmatropic rearrangements involve the migration of a σ bond present at the end or in the middle of the system across the π electron system from one position to another. They are represented by [m,n] where m and n represents the number of atoms between the bond being broken and the bond being formed in two directions.
If even number of electron pair is involved then thermal reaction occur through antarafacial pathway and photochemical reactions occur through suprafacial pathway.
If odd number of electron pair is involved then thermal reaction occur through suprafacial pathway and photochemical reactions occur through antarafacial pathway.

2,4-D is a synthetic auxin (a plant hormone) used in the control of broadleaf weeds, and one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. It is produced commercially by the following reaction:
chloroacetic acid + dichlorophenol → hydrochloric acid + 2,4-D
C2H3ClO2 + C6H4Cl2O → HCl + C8H6Cl2O3
How much chloroacetic acid does it take to manufacture 5.18 grams of 2,4-D?
Oximene and myrcene, two hydrocarbons isolated from alfalfa that have the molecular formula C10H16, both yield 2,6- dimethyloctane when treated with H2 and a Pd catalyst. Ozonolysis of oximene forms (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, CH2(CHO)2, and CH3COCHO. Ozonolysis of myrcene yields (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, (two equiv), and HCOCH2CH2COCHO. Identify the structures of oximene and myrcene.
Compound A has molecular formula C7H15B.. Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product
(compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which
has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.
