Chapter 21, Problem 48P

The use of epoxides as alkylating agents for diethyl malonate provides a useful route to γ-lactones . Write equations illustrating such a sequence for styrene oxide as the starting epoxide. Is the lactone formed by this reaction 3-phenylbutanolide , or is it 4-phenylbutanolide ?

What is the role of an acid catalyst in nucleophilic addition of aldehydes and ketone?
A racemic mixture of 2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanone is formed when (R)-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanone is dissolved in an acidic or basic aqueoussolution. Give an example of another ketone that undergoes acid- or base-catalyzed racemization.
Whether the ortho-carboxy substituent acts as an intramolecular general-base catalyst or as an intramolecular nucleophilic catalyst can be determined by carrying out the hydrolysis of aspirin with 18O-labeled water and determining whether 18O is incorporated into ortho-carboxy-substituted phenol. Explain the results that would be obtained with the two types of catalysis.
