Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason why metal ion increases the rate of dimethyloxaloacetate and not acetoacetate and monoethyl ester of dimethyloxaloacetate has to be given.
Concept introduction:
- Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
- Metal-ion catalysis: A catalysis where metal ion promotes the reaction in a species.

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?
A strong acid is used to catalyze this Fischer Esterification of acetic acid. What two steps in this reaction are accelerated by the presence of strong acid, and what function does the acid play in each of these steps?
Propose a mechanism for the reaction of glucosamine with acetylacetone to form product containing the pyrrole ring.
Hint: The likely first step involves attack of the nucleophilic amino group of glucosamine on one of the carbonyl carbons of acetylacetone and leads to formation of an aminoalcohol. This can dehydrate to form a α,β unsaturated carbonyl compound. The alkene can then react with the aldehyde to form a ring structure.
