(a)[1]
On the structure of Q shown above, circle the functional group that exhibits cis-trans isomerism and mark the chiral carbon atom with an asterisk (*).
(b(i))[2]
Explain what the term partition coefficient means.
(b(ii))[2]
Calculate the partition coefficient, $K_{\text{partition}}$, for Q between hexane and methanol.
(c)[6]
Complete the table below to show the structures of the products formed when Q reacts with the three reagents.
(d)[1]
A sample of Q made in the laboratory was compared with a natural sample from olive oil, and the synthetic sample was found to have lower therapeutic activity. Suggest a reason for this.
