CompoundF has been found in small quantities in some cereals and dried fruit. O O F OH Cl O N H O O A B Give the name of the functional groups labelled A and B. A B  State the number of chiral carbon atoms in one molecule of F. F can be hydrolysed by heating with an excess of dilute hydrochloricacid, as shown. Three products are formed: G and two others. O O F OH Cl O N H O O Cl excess dilute HCl + + O O G OH OH HO OH Draw the structures of the other products of the reaction in the boxes provided. CompoundH is formed in one step of a different synthesis, as shown. O O OH OH HO O O H OH Cl OH HO Cl 2 and FeCl 3 State the role of FeCl 3 in this step. Use the Data Booklet to suggest two reasons why the chlorine atom in compound H substitutes into the ring at the position shown, instead of the other positions in the ring.  CompoundJ, CxHyOz, is also found in some cereals. Part of the mass spectrum of J is shown. The M and M+1 peaks are labelled, along with their relative intensities. relative intensity m/e M, relative intensity 100.0 M+1, relative intensity 14.4 Calculate the number of carbon atoms, x, present in J.  x = The mass spectrum has a peak at m/e = 205. Suggest the identity of the fragment lost from J to form this peak.
