Part II. Mechanisms and Spectroscopy (50 pts)
A. Dutch disease is caused by fungus that transmitted to clm trees by the elm bark beetle. The
female beetle locates suitable tree then releases several phefomones, including the compound
multistriatin shown below The pheromones attract the male bectles which carry the fungus thereby
infecting susceptible trees.
Multistriatin features single group the ketal. When reacted with dilute acid. multistriatin
is
produci with This new compound exhibits strong
IR band 1715 cm' Propose structure for this new product. (10 pts)
B. The bicyclic ketone undergoes hydride reduction with LiAIH much faster rate than the
bievelic ketolle (i.e. kp>k,) Explain this stark difference rates. Hint: Use molecular models to

resulting product hydrolyzed with water catalyst. This two-Step process represents very
