- Explain why pentane-2,4-dione forms two different alkylation products (Aor B) when the number of equivalents of base is increased from one totwo.arrow_forwardIdentify Product A and Give an 'arrow pushing' mechanism for the reaction involved please.arrow_forwardThe conversion of 3 alcohols into alkenes under acidic conditions involves two cationic intermediates. For each reaction, draw the complete mechanism using curved arrows.arrow_forward
- What is the major organic product formed in the following reaction? A, B, C, or D?arrow_forwardSynthesize the product from the given material. Give the reagents necessary and draw out any intermediate products along the way.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions about curcumin, a yellow pigment isolated from turmeric, a tropical perennial in the ginger family and a principal ingredient in curry powder.a.In Chapter 11, we learned that most enols, compounds that contain a hydroxy group bonded to a C=C, are unstable and tautomerize to carbonyl groups. Draw the keto form of the enol of curcumin, and explain why the enol is more stable than many other enols. b.Explain why the enol O—H proton is more acidic than an alcohol O—H proton. c. Why is curcumin colored? d.Explain why curcumin is an antioxidant.arrow_forward
