Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound shown can be prepared by a mixed aldol reaction is to be stated. Further the reactants from which it can be prepared are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Mixed aldol condensation leads to a single product if i) one of the carbonyl partners contains no α hydrogen atoms but contains an unhindered carbonyl group and ii) if one of the carbonyl partners are much more acidic than the other and thus forms an enolate anion in preference to other.
To state:
Whether the compound shown can be prepared by a mixed aldol reaction.
To give:
The reactants from which it can be prepared.
