-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
Predict the products of the following reactions (the aromatic ring is
unreactive in all cases). Indicate regiochemistry when relevant.

Compound A, C10H18O, undergoes reaction with dilute H2SO4at 50 °C to yield a mixture of two alkenes, C10H16. The major alkene product, B, gives only cyclopentanone after ozone treatment followed by reduction with zinc in acetic acid. Identify A and B, and write the reactions.

Cyclopentanone
What product would you expect from the reaction of cyclopentene with NBS and water? Show the stereochemistry.
