b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the alkene that yields 2 equivalents of CH3CH2CH=O as products when treated with ozone followed by treatment with Zn is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Ozone adds to the double bond in alkenes to produce compounds called ozonides. The ozonides upon immediate treatment with Zn and acetic acid yield carbonyl compounds. Each carbon in the double bond cleaved gets attached to an oxygen atom. Hence the alkene should contain the carbons that contain oxygen atom in the products in a doubly bond.
To give:
The structure of the alkene that yields 2 equivalents of CH3CH2CH=O as products when treated with ozone followed by treatment with Zn.

- Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (CH3COCH3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2 SO4 gives E (C10 H16), which decolorizes two equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16 Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and a Pt catalyst to give isobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout.arrow_forwardAn alkene with the molecular formula C10H18 is treated with ozone and then with zinc and acetic acid. The only product isolated from these reactions is: What is the structure of the alkene?arrow_forwardOximene 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.arrow_forward
