Interpretation: The molecule
Concept introduction: Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of
One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
If a compound has two carbonyl functional groups that can react with each other, an intramolecular reaction readily occurs. The reaction leads to the formation of five or six-membered rings.

- LDA is the base of choice for carbonyl compound to completely convert into enolate. Why?arrow_forward(1) Which has a single enolizable Hydrogen? (2) Which of the following produces an aldol and an α,β-unsaturated compound as the final product in simple aldol condensation reaction? (3) Which of these yields the same product with MNO when reacted with NH2NH2, KOH? (4) Which does not have an acidic Hydrogen?arrow_forwardWould this be a reasonable synthesis for (s)-2-benzylcyclohexanone. If not, how can I make it better using aldol and claisen reactions. Thank youarrow_forward
- What product would you expect to obtain from aldol cyclization of hexanedial,OHCCH2CH2CH2CH2CHO?arrow_forwardIn a mixed aldol condensation with unknown aldehydes and ketones reaction what type of isomers can result from this reaction?arrow_forwardDoes it matter whether acetone is added first to the eq. NaOH solution then the benzaldehyde, or if the benzaldehyde is added first to the aq. NaOH solution, then the acetone in an aldol synthesis of dibenzalacetonearrow_forward
- Based on the IR of the aldol product from the reaction, did the aldol condensation occur? How can you tell?arrow_forwardWhat aldol product is formed when two molecules of butanal react together in the presence of base? What reagents are needed to convert this product to each of the attached compounds?arrow_forwardWhich carbon would be converted to the nucleophilic enolate carbon in an upcoming intramolecular Aldol addition? a) C2 b) C3 c) C4 d) C6arrow_forward
