Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that myrcene is isomeric with β-ocimene with molecular formula C10H16 has UV absorption maxima 226 nm. On catalytic hydrogenation it gives 2,6-dimethyloctane. Upon ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn and acetic acid it gives formaldehyde, acetone and 2-oxopentanediol. The structure for myrcene is to be proposed and the reactions are to be given showing the starting materials and products.

- Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone.

An alcohol containing natural product A (C10H200) that is a common ingredient in cough drops yields two structurally isomeric alkenes, 1 and 2, on dehydration. Ozonolysis followed by an oxidative workup or a reductive workup as shown yields 3 and 4 from 1 and 2, respectively. Hydroboration of alkene 1 yields the starting alcohol A as the major product from 1. Hydroboration yields a mixture of the starting alcohol A and a diastereomer of A starting from alkene 2.
