Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is an acetylic fatty acid that turns a vivid blue on exposure
to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents
of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16CO2H, is produced. Ozonolysis of
isoerythrogenic acid yields the following products: formaldehyde, CH2O, malonic acid,
HO2CCH2CO2H, adipic acid, HO2C(CH2)4CO2H, and the aldehyde carboxylic acid,
OHC(CH2)6CO2H. Provide a structure for isoerythrogenic acid.
Carototoxin is a natural pesticide produced by carrots, with formula C₁H2O. It undergoes hydrogenation with Pd to:
give product A, C,H,O, and with Lindlar's catalyst to give product B, C,H2O. Ozonolysis followed by zinc leads to a
mixture of methanal, octanal, 1,2-ethanedioic acid, 3-oxopropanoic acid, and 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoic acid. Draw
