Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mestranol is synthesized by the reaction of a ketone with sodium acetylide in the presence of dilute acids. The structure of the ketone needed to prepare it is to be given.

Concept introduction:

When ketones are treated with sodium acetylide in the presence of dilute acids addition reaction occurs. The actylide ion adds to the carbonyl carbon and H adds to the carbonyl oxygen to yield an ynol in which the alcohol group is adjacent to a carbon in triple bond.

To state:

The structure of the ketone needed to prepare mestranol by reaction with sodium acetylide in the presence of dilute acids.
