Chapter 21, Problem 52P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the diketone while considering the retrosynthetic analysis.is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction that consist of the addition of an enolate ion to the carbonyl group of the second aldehyde or ketonic group takes place to form β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, such reaction is called as the aldol reaction. In the case of intramolecular aldol condensation, a single compound possesses two carbonyl groups.

Retrosynthesis is used to identify the reactants. It involves the breaking of the target molecule into starting materials.
