Get started for freeTreatment of the minor product formed in the intramolecular aldol cyclization of 2,5-heptanedione (Problems 23-51 and 23-52) with aqueous NaOH converts it into the major product. Propose a mechanism to account for this base-catalyzed isomerization.
The Darzens reaction involves a two-step, base-catalyzed condensation of ethyl chloroacetate with a ketone to yield an epoxy ester. The first step is a carbonyl condensation reaction, and the second step is an SN2 reaction. Write both steps, and show their mechanisms.
The following reaction involves a hydrolysis followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Write both steps, and show their mechanisms.
The Mannich reaction of a ketone, an amine, and an aldehyde is one of the few three-component reactions in organic chemistry. Cyclohexanone, for example, reacts with dimethylamine and acetaldehyde to yield an amino ketone. The reaction takes place in two steps, both of which are typical carbonyl-group reactions.
(a)The first step is reaction between the aldehyde and the amine to yield an intermediate iminium ion plus water. Propose a mechanism, and show the structure of the intermediate iminium ion.
(b)The second step is reaction between the iminium ion intermediate and the ketone to yield the final product. Propose a mechanism.
Show how you might use an enamine reaction to prepare each of the following compounds:
