Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction sequences that explain the given transformations are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In acid-catalysed Aldol condensation, nucleophilic addition of an enol takes palce at a protonated carbonyl group. In the first step, enol is formed when carbonyl oxygen gets protonated. Then, deprotonation occurs at alpha carbon. In the next step, enol adds to the protonated carbonyl followed by deprotonation to give the aldol product
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction sequences that explain the given transformations are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In the claisen-ester condensation, neucleophilic acyl substitution takes place on an ester. The enolate ion acts as a neucleophile. It attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Acidity of beta-keto ester products is higher than simple

- Nonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardThe tosylate of a primary alcohol normally undergoes an SN2 reaction with hydroxide ion to give a primary alcohol. Reaction of this tosylate, however, gives a compound of molecular formula C7H12O. Propose a structural formula for this compound and a mechanism for its formation.arrow_forward7.
