Question
Chapter 23.1, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Using curved arrows to indicate the electron flow in each step, how the base catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone takes place to yield 2 equivalents of acetone, is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the retro-aldol reaction are i) Deprotonation by the base used ii) Elimination of the enolate ion iii) Protonation of the anion.
To show:
Using curved arrows to indicate the electron flow in each step how the base catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone takes place to yield 2 equivalents of acetone.

- 2 H3C H3C H C→XT OH H3C The aldol reaction is a carbonyl condensation reaction between two carbonyl partners and involves a combination of nucleophilic addition and a-substitution steps. One partner is converted into an enolate ion nucleophile and adds to the electrophilic carbonyl group of the second partner. In the classic aldol reaction, the carbonyl partners are aldehydes or ketones, although aldehydes are more reactive. The product is a ß-hydroxy carbonyl compound. base :0: OH H H Under reaction conditions slightly more vigorous than those employed for the aldol reaction, the ß-hydroxyl group is eliminated in an E1cB dehydration to give an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
