Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereochemistry of the product formed is to be deduced on the basis of the facts given in the reaction.

Concept introduction:

Cyclic esters are called lactones and are often prepared by the intramolecular cyclization of hydroxy substituted carboxylic acids.

The hydroxyl group and the carboxylic acid group undergo condensation to form the lactone.

Grignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized. Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.
In biochemical reactions, decarboxylation of carboxylic acids typically takes place for-keto carboxylic acids. Justify a rational why nature opted for-keto carboxylic acid decarboxylation. Among the following types of biochemical reactions, ester hydrolysis, rearrangement reactions, water elimination reactions, and anhydride hydrolyses, which one is the most favorable one. Rank the above reactions types in the order of being the most to least favorable reaction
