Predict the products for the reactions in Problem 8-26 if each were run in DMSO with water. Show the complete mechanism including appropriate regiochemistry and stereochemistry.
The amount of energy required to spin-flip a nucleus depends both on the strength of the external magnetic field and on the nucleus. At a field strength
of 4.7 T, rf energy of 200 MHz is required to bring a nucleus into resonance,
but energy of only 187 MHz will bring a nucleus into resonance. Calculate
the amount of energy required to spin-flip a nucleus. Is this amount greater
or less than that required to spin-flip a nucleus?
The infrared spectrum of the compound with the mass spectrum shown below lacks any significant absorption above 3000cm-1 . There is a prominent peak near 1740cm-1 and another strong peak near 1200cm-1 .
Propose a structure consistent with the data.

Camphor, a saturated monoketone from the Asian camphor tree, is used among other things as a moth repellent and as a constituent of embalmingfluid. If camphor has M+=152.1201 by high-resolution mass spectrometry,what is its molecular formula? How many rings does camphor have?
