Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The removal of two substituents from a molecule either in one step or in two steps is called an elimination reaction.

The general steps involved in acid catalyzed reaction are as follows:

• First step is the protonation of alcohol group.

• The second step is the removal of OH2 group.

• The third step is the deprotonation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The conversion of X into 16,17 dehydroprogesterone is to be shown.

Concept introduction: Ring-flipping converts equatorial bonds into axial bonds and axial bonds into equatorial bonds. The reduction of ketone into alcohol can be done by using reagent H2 in the presence of palladium.
