Chapter 18, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The missing compounds in the given following reaction are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Ketones undergo Wolff-Kishner reduction to give alkanes. The reaction takes place in basic conditions with the loss of a ketone group.

MCPBA causes the epoxidation of alkenes. It stands for m chloroperoxybenzenzoic acid.

Lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent that causes the reduction of epoxides to alcohols.

Chromic acid is a strong oxidising agent that causes the oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones.

Wolff–Kishner reduction (hydrazine, KOH, ethylene glycol, 130°C) of the compound shown gave compound A. Treatment of compound A with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) gave compound B, which on reduction with lithium aluminum hydride gave compound C. Oxidation of compound C with chromic acid gave compound D (C9H14O). Identify compounds A through D in this sequence.
Compound J, C16H16Br2, is optically active. On treatment with strong base, compounds K and L (each C16H14) are formed; K and L each absorb only 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a Pd/C catalyst. Compound K reacts with ozone to give phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH), while similar treatment of L gives 2 products. One product, M, is an aldehyde with formula C7H6O; the other product is glyoxal (CHO)2. Draw the structure of compound L.
An unknown compound A of molecular formula C10H18O reacts with H2SO4 to form two compounds (B and C)of molecular formula C10H16. B and C both react with H2 in the presence of Pd-C to form decalin. Ozonolysis of B forms D, and ozonolysis of C forms a diketone E of molecular formula C10H16O2. Identify the structures of compounds A, B, C, and E.
