Oxidation of citronellol, a constituent of rose and geranium oils, with PCC in the presence of added NaOCOCH3 forms compound A. A has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 154 and a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 1730 cm-1. Without added NaOCOCH3, oxidation of citronellol with PCC yields isopulegone, which is then converted to B with aqueous base. B has a molecular ion at 152, and a peak in its IR spectrum at 1680 cm-1.
a. Identify the structures of A and B.
b. Draw a mechanism for the conversion of citronellol to isopulegone.
c. Draw a mechanism for the conversion of isopulegone to B.
Question:Which compound gives a molecular ion at m/z= 122: , , or ?
Question: Propose possible structure consistent with each set of data. Assume each compound has hybridized C-H absorption in its IR spectrum, and that other major IR absorption above 1500are list.
Question: The base peak in the mass spectrum of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane occurs at m/z = 57. What ion is responsible for this peak and why is this ion the most abundant fragment?
Question: Use the following information to propose a molecular formula for nootkatone, a compound partly responsible for the characteristic odor of grapefruit. Nootkatone contains the elements C, H, and O, has five degrees of unsaturation, and a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at m/z = 218.
