Need help figuring out.
« on: January 14, 2017, 03:00:49 PM »
Need some help figuring out. what I got so far but not sure if they are correct. If someone can double check and help me 
(A) Ethanol (B) THCA (C) CBDA and (D) I can't figure out at all.
Please help me with all four of these because I'm not positive about none of them.
Thank you in advance.

We rather do not discuss cannabinoids on our forum.
Note - ethanol does not reduces double bond in cyclohexene.
We often use common names for not known compounds - in this case you add 4 hydrogen atoms to molecule C (examples of such nomenclature in these compounds are common).

The real question is who is the *Ignore me, I am a weenie* who rotated these to make it harder to decipher

They could have at least done it well. The stereochemistry is incorrect in B.

Without discussing cannabinoids...

The reagents for converting C --> D are given.
What reaction has occurred? (Ignore stereochemistry)

What chemical transformation is desired to make compound B? (Ignore stereochemistry)
What reagent can we use to perform that transformation?

Can't help you with the identities of the compounds B, C, and D.

Then kindly read our Forum Rules{click}.  You agreed to follow these rules when you signed up.  We don't let people show up, say "solve this" on a good day.  And we don't help people make illegal drugs.  Doing both -- is just insulting us twice.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
