Question
Chapter 23, Problem 5PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The description of the chemical test that can be used to distinguish between methanol and geraniol.
Concept introduction:
Terpenes and terpenoids are examples of essential oils that are extracted from plants via steam distillation. Terpenes are examples of hydrocarbons, while terpenoids are examples of oxygen-containing compounds.
Geraniol is extracted as a part of rose oil. It is a monoterpenoid having an alcohol group.
Menthol, in contrast, is extracted from the mint plants such as corn mint and peppermint. It is also a monoterpene with an alcoholic group.
