Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the conversion of A to B is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction that takes place within the same molecule in presence of strong base is known as intramolecular aldol reactions. This reaction takes place within the dicarbonyl compounds in which one carbonyl group forms the enolate that acts as a nucleophile and reacts with second carbonyl group which acts as electrophile.

Even though B contains three ester groups, a single Dieckmann product results when B is treated with NaOCH3 in CH3OH, followed by H3O+. Draw the structure and explain why it is the only product formed.
Draw the product formed when phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH) istreated with each reagent. With some reagents, no reaction occurs. NaHCO3
A key step in a synthesis of the antimalarial drug quinine involves an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution that converts A to B. Draw the structure of B and give the reagents needed to convert B to quinine.
