Question
Chapter 2, Problem 53DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The carbon in adamantane that is oxidized in forming the major product is to be classified.
Concept introduction:
The carbon atoms are classified on the basis of their degree of substitution by other carbons.
If a carbon atom is directly attached to only one other carbon atom, it is called a primary carbon.
If a carbon atom is directly attached to two other carbon atoms, it is called a secondary carbon.
A tertiary carbon is directly attached to three other carbon atoms and a quaternary carbon is directly attached to four other carbon atoms.

Compounds with two carbonyl groups are named as alkane diones, for example:

2,3-butanedione
The compound above is an artificial flavor added to microwave popcorn and movie-theater popcorn to simulate the butter flavor.
Interestingly, this very same compound is also known to contribute to body odor. Name the following compounds:
cyclohexane-1,3-dione
cycloheptane-1,4-dione
gily
nonane-2,8-dione
Three components of the sex pheromone of the female sand bee (Ophrys sphegodes) are
saturated hydrocarbons containing 23, 25, and 27 carbon atoms. How many H atoms does each
of these alkanes contain? Interestingly, the early spider orchid emits a similar hydrocarbon mixture
to attract male sand bees to pollinate its flowers.
Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol.

Rank the following compounds in order of increasing strength of their intermolecular forces, given the ΔH°vap listed for each. Place the compound with the strongest intermolecular forces (IMFs) at the top of the list. (Strongest to weaknest).
Why is ΔHºvap for CH3SCH3 greater than ΔHºvap for CH3OCH3?
A. CH3OCH3 is more polar.
B. CH3SCH3 has stronger dipole–dipole attractions.
C. CH3OCH3 can form…
