Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.59P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the given reaction 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.

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. The four-membered ring in the starting material and product is called a β-lactam. This functional group confers biological activity on penicillin and many related antibiotics, as is discussed in Chapter 22. (Hint: The mechanism begins with β elimination and involves only two steps.)
