What is the structure of the hydrocarbon?

A hydrocarbon was found to have a molecular weight of 80-85. A 10.02 mg sample took up 8.40 mL of H2 gas at 0 degrees C and 760 mm pressure. Ozonolysis yielded only two compounds shown in the attached .jpg. What is the structure of the hydrocarbon? See attached file for full problem description.

Ozonolysis of Myrcene

Myrcene, C10H16, a terpene, absorbs three moles of hydrogen to form C10H22. Upon ozonolysis myrcene yields the two compounds shown in the first attached .jpg (I5Q2a). 1. What structures for myrcene are consistent with the facts? 2. Based on the isoprene rule (naturally occurring terpenes are made up of isoprene segments) ...continues

Muscalure is the sex pheromone of the common housefly. On the basis of the following information (in the attached .jpg), give the structure of Muscalure and the intermediates A and B. See attached file for full problem description.

Conversion of nerol into alpha-terpinol - mechanism

Suggest a mechanism (using arrows/arrow pushing and intermediates if applicable) for the conversion of nerol (C10H18O) into alpha-terpineol (C10H18O) in the presence of dilute H2SO4 - see the attached .jpg for start and end products.

Writing a chemical equation for the conversion of Codeine to Morphine in the body

Writing a chemical equation for the conversion of Codeine to Morphine in the body. I know that the ether group of codeine becomes an alcohol group in the morphine, but I am unable to get a formula with the other products. I could also use some help with making sure I have the functional groups for morphine and codeine corre ...continues
