Textbook QuestionAuthentic skunk spray has become valuable for use in scent-masking products. Show how you would synthesize the major component of skunk spray 3-methylbutane-1-thiol from any of the readily available butene or from buta-1,3-diene.550views
Textbook QuestionMany hunting dogs enjoy standing nose-to-nose with a skunk while barking furiously, oblivious to the skunk spray directed toward them. One moderately effective way of lessening the amount of odor is to wash the dog in a bath containing dilute hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and some mild dish detergent. Use chemical reactions to describe how this mixture helps to remove the skunk spray from the dog. The two major components of skunk oil are 3-methylbutane-1-thiol and but-2-ene-1-thiol.372views

Textbook Question(•••) THINKING AHEAD Thiols are prone to dimerize through the formation of a disulfide bond in a reaction that stylists use to induce permanent curls in hair.
