Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compound formed by Cope rearrangement of geranial is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Cope rearrangement is a thermal [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. This rearrangement takes place in 1,5-diene to form more thermodynamically stable compound.

Sigmatropic rearrangements are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. In these rearrangements migration of sigma bond takes place.

Explain the Preparation of Dihalocarbenes ?
The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PhOH) with CH2=O, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different.
34. Compound Z has the molecular formula CaHeO2. When Z is treated with LIAIH, in ether followed by Hz20/H*, the organic compound 2-phenylethanol is formed. Draw the structure of Z.
