Which of the reactions below would result in a product mixture thatwould rotate plane-polarized light?
a)

Using an oxidative cleavage reaction, explain how you would distinguish between the following two isomeric dienes:

-Terpinene,is a pleasant-smelling hydrocarbon that has been isolated from oil of marjoram. On hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst,terpinene reacts with two molar equivalentsto yield a hydrocarbon, .On ozonolysis, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid,terpinene delivers two products, glyoxal, and 6-methyl-2,5- heptane dione.

(a) How many degrees of unsaturation doesterpinene have?
(b) How many double bonds and how many rings does it have?
(c) Propose a structure forterpinene
