Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 47P
Dutch elm disease is caused by a fungus transmitted to elm trees by the elm bark beetle. The female beetle, when she has located an attractive elm tree, releases several pheromones, including multistriatin, below. These pheromones attract male beetles, which bring with them the deadly fungus.
Treating multistriatin with dilute aqueous acid at room temperature leads to the formation of a product,

The naphthalene molecule has a structure that corre-
sponds to two benzene molecules fused together:
The ™ electrons in this molecule are delocalized over the
entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption
in benzene is 255 nm. Will the corresponding wavelength
in naphthalene be shorter or longer than 255 nm?
Which of the following is true about fluorescence intensity of the molecule?
I Fluorescence is observed in planar molecules and its intensity increase with an increase in the number of aromatic rings
II When zinc is added to a hydroxyl quinoline solution the fluorescence intensity increased due to the formation of a complex which
increases the rigidity of the molecule.
III On increasing the intensity of the incident radiation the fluorescence intensity increases
IV On increasing the concentration of the fluorigenic molecule, the fluorescence intensity increases. A plot of intensity vs concentration

- The compound p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide, which has the formula CH3OC6H4CNO, reacts with itself to form a dimer—a molecule that consists of two p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide units connected to each other (CH3OC6H4CNO)2. The reaction can be represented as A + A → B or 2 A → B where A represents p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide and B represents the dimer, (CH3OC6H4CNO)2.

Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet.
