- What functional group is formed as the final product of an aldol condensation? A. B-hydroxycarbonyl В. a,B-unsaturated carbonyl C. enol D. enolatearrow_forwardHydroxy aldehydes A and B readily cyclize to form hemiacetals. Draw the stereoisomers formed in this reaction from both A and B. Explain why this process gives an optically inactive product mixture from A and an optically active product mixture from B.arrow_forward4. Give the structures of the aldol products that form when each of the following compounds or mixtures is treated with NAOH. a) Butanal b) Cyclopentanone c) Acetophenone d)-Chlorobenzaldehyde and 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanonearrow_forward
- Explain why an acetal can be isolated but most hydrates cannot be isolated.arrow_forwardAlkylation of the following compound with methyl iodide under two different conditions forms two different ketoesters (A and B). Each ketoester forms a cyclic diketone (C and D) when treated with methoxide ion in methanol. a. Draw the structures of A and B, and indicate the conditions used in the alkylation reaction that cause that ketoester to be formed. b.

- The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an a,ẞ-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of 1. formation of an enamine from a ketone. 2. Michael addition to an α,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and 3. hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal. Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and dimethylamine. ચર્ચ F Correct HC, CH3 ChemDoodle 2 Draw the structure of the Michael addition product. ChemDoodle Jn (F 106 Correctarrow_forwardWhat is the major difference between the base-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed processes for nucleophilic addition of water to aldehydes and ketones? a. The base-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because hydroxide ion is a much better nucleophile than neutral water. b. The rate of reaction in base catalyzed process is slower than acid catalyzed process. c. The acid-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because the protonated carbonyl compound is a much better electrophile than the neutral compound. d. Only 1 and 3 are correct.arrow_forwardWhich carbonyl is more suceptible to nucleophilic attack, carbonyl of cyclohexanone or carbonyl of hexanal? Provide two reasonsarrow_forward
