Get started for freeUsing your roadmaps as a guide, show how to convert 5 -chloro-2-pentanone and carbon dioxide into racemic tetrahydro-6-methyl-2-pyranone. You must use 5-chloro2-pentanone and carbon dioxide as the source of all carbon atoms in the racemic target molecule. Show all reagents and all molecules synthesized along the way.
Excess ascorbic acid is excreted in the urine, the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of which is normally in the range 4.8-8.4. What form of ascorbic acid would you expect to be present in urine of \(\mathrm{pH} 8.4\) free ascorbic acid or ascorbate anion? Explain.
Potassium sorbate is added as a preservative to certain foods to prevent bacteria and molds from causing food spoilage and to extend the foods' shelf life. The IUPAC name of potassium sorbate is potassium \((2 E, 4 E)-2,4\)-hexadienoate. Draw a structural formula for potassium sorbate.
Draw a structural formula for each salt. (a) Sodium benzoate (b) Lithium acetate (c) Ammonium acetate (d) Disodium adipate (e) Sodium salicylate (f) Calcium butanoate
Given here are \({ }^{1} \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{NMR}\) and \({ }^{13} \mathrm{C}\)-NMR spectral data for nine compounds. Each compound shows strong absorption between 1720 and \(1700 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\) and strong, broad absorption over the region \(2500-3300 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\). Propose a structural formula for each compound. Refer to Appendices 4,5, and 6 for spectral correlation tables.
