Heya,

I am having trouble drawing the structural equation for carvone with Br2/CCl4. I know the double bonds are broken but not so sure how to represent it....

[Padfoot]

Do you know the structural formula for Carvone?

Your reaction is an addition reaction.  Your right in that the C-C double bonds will break - but this occurs with the addition of 2Br₂.  Add Br to each of the C's formerly part of the 2 C-C double bonds in Carvone to get your product.
Hope that helps - I couldn't find a picture

hey, taniabahr, you're studying pcb242 at qut aren't you? a couple of weeks now you have word for word asked the questions from the prac book... are you actually learning anything? 

[nightang3l]

i do pcp242 and yeah i was wondering the same thing

uve been quoting word for word from the prac manual r u actually learning aything? your even quotiong the easy questions

[Kikibelle]

so your doing pcb242 at qut....does that mean that the major chemical component of the oil from dill seeds in carvone? bugger.....i thought it was limonene

[nightang3l]

i manage to finish all my pracs by googling stuff like that..

eg. enter in google "major constituent of volatile oil of from dill seed" or something similar. seems to me like u cant be bothered so you post questions on forums :/

like cmon, Br2 test, a very common test, put that in google you will find many many structural representations of the addition reaction. then all you have to do is apply the changes (double bond being broken , u can google what happens to that double bond :lol: because im not about to tell you, its even in the lecture notes for gods sake..) to your equation in the prac.

simple.


yeah correction, i do pcB242 at qut.
