Chapter 11, Problem 47P

A dibromide loses only one bromine when it reacts with sodium hydroxide. The dibromide forms toluene (C6H5-CH3) when it reacts with magnesium shavings in ether followed by treatment with dilute acid. Give possible structures for the dibromide.

An optically active monoterpene (compound A) with molecular formula C10H18O undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to form an optically inactive compound with molecular formula C10H20O (compound B). When compound B is heated with acid, followed by reaction with O3 and then with dimethyl sulfide, one of the products obtained is 4-methylcyclohexanone. Give possible structures for compounds A and B.
Compound W has molecular formula C₁4H18 and reacts with H₂ to form X. Oxidative cleavage of W with O3 followed by CH3 SCH3 affords Y. What is the structure of W?
An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H10 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give B C6H12 (Rxn 1). Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give the glycol C (Rxn 2). A gives 5-oxohexanal on ozonolysis (Rxn 3).  Draw the structures of A, B, and C. Give the reactions.
