The structure of codling moth sex pheromone is to be given with the help of given information.
Concept Introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
The reaction in which hydrogen is added to the compound in the presence of catalyst is known as hydrogenation.
The number of moles of hydrogen absorbed will be equal to the number of double bonds.
Reduction is a process in which hydrogen atoms are added to a compound. Usual reagents used in the reduction process are
The reaction in which the
Reduction is a process in which the addition of hydrogen atoms to a compound takes place.
During an addition reaction unsaturated bonds are converted into saturated molecules by the addition of molecules
Ozonolysis is a process in which the given alkene is cleaved with ozone

If priority cannot be assigned according to atomic mass, then assign the priority according to the first point of difference.
If both the priority groups are on the same side of a double-bonded carbon atom, then it is known as
But if both the priority groups are diagonal to each other, then it is

(b) What functional group is it being transformed into (in the final product)?arrow_forwardA chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.arrow_forward
- An aromatic compound K, whose molecular formula is C8H11N, is examined in the laboratory to elucidate its structure. The following observations were made: A) Compound K is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid but insoluble in sodium hydroxide solution. B) Treatment of compound K with excess potassium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride, C(6)H(5)SO(2)Cl, results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture. The NMR spectrum of compound K is shown below. C) Compound K when treated with acetic anhydride[CH3-C(O)-O-C(O)-CH3], gives compound L, whose molecular formula is C(10)H(13)ON. Compound L is insoluble in dilute acid or dilute base at room temperature, heating compound L in dilute acid or base, however, regenerates compound K. D) When compound L is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, a single product, compound M, with the molecular formula C(10)H(12)O(3)N(2) is formed in excellent yields. On the basis of these observations draw the structures of…arrow_forwardGive reasons for the following :(i) Phenol is more acidic than methanol.(ii) The C—O—H bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle (190°28′).(iii) (CH3)3C—O—CH3 on reaction with HI gives (CH3)3C—I and CH3—OH as the main products and not (CH3)3C—OH and CH3—I.arrow_forwardEach of the following reactions has been described in the chemical literature and involves an organic reactant somewhat more complex than those we have encountered so far. Nevertheless, on the basis of the topics covered in this chapter, you should be able to write the structure of the principal organic product of each reaction.arrow_forward

- Using Friedel Crafts alkylation of benzene, a group of scientists discovered compound A, CsH10, an optically inactive compound. They discovered that compound B, C3H9Br, is produced during the halogenation process. When compound B is reacted with nitric acid, compound C, C3H§BrNO2, is formed. While Friedel Crafts acylation of compound A produces compound E, C10H12O. This compound C was oxidised to produce compound D, C,H4BrNO4 as a major product.
