Oxidation of citronellol, a constituent of rose and geranium oils, with pcc in the presence of added naococh3 forms compound a. a has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 154 and a strong peak in its ir spectrum at 1730 cm−1, in addition to c―h stretching absorptions. without added naococh3, oxidation of citronellol with pcc yields isopulegone, which is then converted to b with aqueous base. b has a molecular ion at 152, and a peak in its ir spectrum at 1680 cm−1 in addition to c―h stretching absorptions. draw the structures of a and b.

the correct answer is answer a. a mixture

no other options make sense

hope this

have a great day : )

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
