write down the mechanism, step by step, for a nucleophilic addition of your choosing. You could do an aldol condensation, a Claisen condensation, a hydride reduction, or any of your choosing as long as they include at least two steps and involve the attack of a carbonyl. Note: All molecules, intermediates, products, and reactants must have the correct charges, arrows, and labels

An aldol condensation reaction using the reagents acetone and benzaldehyde, in the presence of sodium hydroxide was used to produce dibenzylacetone. Write out the mechanism of this reaction. Be sure to include arrows indicating the direction of electron flow.
Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the aldol or enone below. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate ion in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.
Synthesis Reaction for Organic Chemistry Can you go from the starting material to the product using mostly aldol reactions
Mixed aldol condensations involving benzaldehyde yield typically a single product. Draw the structure of the partner that was used to synthesize this molecule: You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.
The by-product of the aldol reaction is not drawn here, what is it?
The compound shown here is the product of a base-catalyzed aldol condensation. Draw the structure of the nonaromatic-containing starting material that is present before the aldol condensation and the aldol addition.
In a Wittig reaction, a ketone or aldehyde reacts as an electrophile with a nucleophile called a Wittig reagent (or phosphonium ylide) to produce an alkene. The Wittig reagent is commonly synthesized first in a two-step process beginning with an alkyl halide, then reacted with the carbonyl compound. In this problem, you'll explore the mechanism of a multi-step synthesis to make an alkene using the Wittig approach.
Draw the aldol product that will form when the two reactants shown here are reacted in the presence of an amine base. Do not draw the conjugate acid of the triethylamine base that results. Be sure to include all lone pairs of electrons and formal charges in your product.
