Chapter 23: Q49E (page 783)

How might you synthesize each of the following compounds using an aldol reaction? Show the structure of the starting aldehyde(s) or ketone(s) you would use in each case.

Short Answer

Expert verified

First, analyze the product and find the carbon-carbon double bond which is formed by the dehydration of the initial product formed during the aldol reaction then add carbonyl oxygen after breaking that bond at the relevant carbon atom.

As shown in Figures 23-4, the Claisen reaction is reversible. That is, a๐›ƒ-keto ester can be cleaved by base into two fragments. Using curved arrows to indicate electron flow, show the mechanism by which this cleavage occurs.

Show how you might use an enamine reaction to prepare each of the following compounds:

Azlactones are important starting materials used in the synthesis of dehydro a-aminoacids. They react with aldehydes to form an intermediate that is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to give the final amino acid product. Provide the structure of the intermediate and propose a mechanism for its formation.
