Chapter 21.3, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of the aldol condensation products of each of the given compound in the problem 21.9 are to be drawn. Among these given aldehydes, the one that does not undergo aldol condensation is to be identified and the reason is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

In the presence of either acid or base, the two molecules of aldehydes or ketone that present alpha hydrogen are react and forms β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, this reaction is known as aldol addition reaction.

>

The dehydration of aldol addition product results in the formation of α,β- unsaturated ketone or aldehyde. Such a reaction is known as aldol condensation reaction.

β-Vetivone is isolated from vetiver, a perennial grass that yields a variety ofcompounds used in traditional eastern medicine, pest control, and fragrance. In one synthesis, ketone A is converted to β-vetivone by a two-step process: Michael reaction, followed by intramolecular aldol reaction. (a) What Michael acceptor is needed for the conjugate addition? (b) Draw a stepwise mechanism for the aldol reaction, which forms the six-membered ring.
(a) Draw two different halo ketones that can form A by an intramolecularalkylation reaction. (b) How can A be synthesized by an acetoacetic estersynthesis?
Zingerone, a spicy-sweet component of cooked ginger, can be converted to its protected TBDMS ether A, as we learned in Chapter 20. How can A be converted to gingerol, a compound present in fresh ginger, using a directed aldol reaction as a key step?
