(a)
Interpretation:
The validation of the fact that the given keto ester is formed by Dieckmann condensation has to be predicted and the structure of starting diester if applicable has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
An internal condensation reaction of a diester forms a ring compound. Such an internal claisen cyclization is known as a Dieckmann condensation reaction or more commonly it is known as a Dieckmann cyclization. This reaction is useful in the formation of five and six membered rings. Rings which are smaller than five carbon atoms or larger than six carbon atoms are rarely formed by this reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The validation of the fact that the given keto ester is formed by Dieckmann condensation is to be predicted and the structure of starting diester if applicable is to be drawn.

- Complete the following reactions. Thank you!arrow_forwardA graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. If this reaction could be accomplished using H2 and a nickel catalyst, would the product be optically active? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is the importance of proton transfer in the formation of ester? A.The carbonyl carbon is easily attacked by the nucleophile. B. The oxygen that has been attached to the two alkyl groups will become stable. C. The removal of a bulky substituent attached to the reactive site stabilizes the compound. D. none of the abovearrow_forward
- A strong acid is generally used to catalyze the Fischer esterification of carboxylic acids.What two steps in the reaction are accelerated by the presence of strong acid? What function does the acid play in each of these steps?arrow_forwardThe thioester, which form when a Cys side chain condenses with a Gln side chain a few residues away, reacts readily with compounds with the formula ROH or RNH2. Draw the resulting ester and amide reaction products.arrow_forward
