Answer

a.


b.

c.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation of alkene with mCPBA

Oxidation (addition of oxygen) reaction of alkenes occurs when alkenes are treated with mCPBA.

Weaker O-O bond in peroxyacid is broken, and two C-O epoxide bonds are formed using the double bond of alkene and lone pair of peroxyacid

02

Epoxidation reaction

Double bonds of alkene are cleaved, and C-O epoxide bonds are formed

a.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation

b.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation

c.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation

Question: 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.
