(a)
Interpretation:
The product of the given claisen condensation reaction is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
In the claisen-ester condensation, nucleophilic acyl substitution takes place on an ester. The enolate ion acts as a nucleophile. It attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Acidity of beta-keto ester products is higher than simple ketones,

- A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardWhich statement is correct? Ethers have a general formula RCOR Ethers are very stable in the basic media O Epoxides are acyclic ethers Ethers may act as acids and bases O Ethers may act only as acidsarrow_forwardPlease help me with this I am very confused and I want to study.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements best describes the general reactivity of alkynes? O An alkyne reacts as an electrophile and is therefore electron poor. O An alkyne reacts as an electrophile and is therefore electron rich. O An alkyne reacts as a nucleophile and is therefore electron poor. O An alkyne reacts as a nucleophile and is therefore electron rich.

- The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and dimethylamine. - Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and - hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.arrow_forwardDraw reaction mechanisms with all reactants, arrows, intermediates, and products. Your mechanism must account for all the products if more than one product is formed. 4-methycyclohexanol with phosphoric acid H3PO4 to for 1-methycyclohexene, 3- methylcyclohexene and 4-methycyclohexenearrow_forwardIn a Wittig reaction, a ketone or aldehyde reacts as an electrophile with a nucleophile called a Wittig reagent (or phosphonium ylide) to produce an alkene. The Wittig reagent is commonly synthesized first in a two-step process beginning with an alkyl halide, then reacted with the carbonyl compound. In this problem, you'll explore the mechanism of a multi-step synthesis to make an alkene using the Wittig approach.arrow_forward
