The enolate of a ketone can be treated with an ester to give a diketone. Draw a mechanism for this Claisen-like reaction and explain why an acid source is required after the reaction is complete. For the mechanism, draw the curved arrows as needed. Include lone pairs and charges in your answer. Do not draw out any hydrogen explicitly in your products. Do not use abbreviations such as Me or Ph. 1) LDA OEt 2) 3) H30*

1 Using this retrosynthesis scheme, Show a forward synthesis with all relevant reagents and conditions needed to make the desired molecule. Don't show mechanism arrows or intermediates.
In benzoic acid, when it has a deactivating group in position "para" (relative to carboxylate position) , it attracts electrons towards it, weakening the acid and an activator pushes the electrons making the acid stronger.What happens to this benzoic acid if it has a substituent at the "meta" or "ortho" position as an activator or a deactivator? I need an explanation of what happens in each case please
Acyl transfer (nucleophilic substitution at carbonyl) reactions proceed in two stages via a "tetrahedral intermediate." Draw the tetrahedral intermediate as it is first formed in the following reaction. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I-, in your answer. In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Use the curved arrow formalism to draw the complete mechanism for the aldol addition reaction. (It is not necessary to show the aldol condensation step). The reaction is: butyraldehyde with ether solvent and KOH to form the product 2-ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal
Heating an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid will cause a dehydration to occur: the removal of the elements of water from a molecule, forming an alkene. The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed, both by heating the reaction mixture (more energy promotes the elimination pathway) and by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile. Draw curved arrow(s) to show how the alcohol reacts with phosphoric acid.
The following incomplete reaction sequences give a starting material and a product that can be prepared from it. Show the reagents taht would be necessary to carry out each transformation and any major products taht would be formed in the intermediate stages. There may be more than one correct way to complete a sequence. Thanks!
Complete the curved arrow mechanism of the following double elimination reaction when 2,2-dichloro-3,3-dimethylbutane is treated with two equivalents of sodium amide and heated in mineral oil. A.) Use three curved arrows to show the elimination of the first hydrogen chloride. B.) Use three curved arrows to show the elimination of the second hydrogen chloride. C.) Complete the structure of the organic product formed from the double elimination. The ammonia and chloride ion formed in step 1 is not drawn for clarity.
Propose how you could synthesize the following compound, using a substitution reaction. Propose a nucleophile, a solvent, and an electrophile. Show the curved-arrow mechanism of the reaction. Finally, draw the transition state of the reaction.
The anticoagulant Warfarin can be synthesized by a conjugate addition (Michael addition) reaction as shown below: a) Propose a mechanism for the reaction starting from the enolate shown below. You can assume water is present for any proton transfers needed.b) We saw that the keto tautomer is normally preferred over the enol tautomer, however, the enol tautomer is present in the final product (Warfarin) and that is the more stable tautomer in this case. Why do you think the enol tautomer is more stable? Hint: consider the molecule as a whole.
Using curved-arrows, propose a mechanism for the following transformation and draw the major product(s) (with clear stereochemistry when appropriate).
