Would the following reaction form the product as shown? (CH3CH₂)2NH H A) Yes, it is easier to form the diketone enolate due to the very acidic nature of the methylene hydrogens in between the two carbonyl groups. B) Yes, it is easier to form the aldehyde enolate than the diketone enolate due to the very acidic alpha hydrogens of the aldehyde. C) NO, it is difficult to form the diketone enolate by abstracting the methylene hydrogens due to steric hindrance from the two carbonyl groups. D) NO, it is difficult to form the aldehyde enolate since the alpha hydrogens of the aldehyde are not that acidic. FO O

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.
