Ozonolysis of alpha-terpinene
Ignore Structure A in the attached .jpg for this problem. Use only structures C and B
================================================
Alpha -Terpinene, C10H16, a terpene found in coriander oil, absorbs only two moles of hydrogen, forming p-menthane, C10H20. Ozonolysis of Alpha -terpinene yields structure C in the attached .jpg; permanganate cleavage yields structure B.
1. How many rings, if any, are in Alpha -terpinene?
2. On the basis of the cleavage products C and B and the isoprene rule, what is the most likely structure for Alpha terpinene?
3. How do you account for the presence of the OH groups in structure B?
What is this?
