Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of 3, 5-dimethyl- pyrazole from hydrazine and 2, 4-pentanedione. Look carefully to see what has happened to each carbonyl carbon in going from starting material to product.
Amino acids can be prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by heating the initial alkylation product with aqueous HCl. The reaction to form alanine involves the following steps: Reaction of diethyl acetamidomalonate with sodium ethoxide to form enolate anion 1; The enolate anion acts as a nucleophile in an SN2 reaction with alkyl iodide 2 to form alkylated intermediate 2; Heating in the presence of aqueous acid hydrolyzes both the ester and the amide bonds, and induces decarboxylation to form alanine. Draw the structure of enolate anion 1.
