A chemist was trying to synthesize compound C over the course of two steps, but after the first step they realized that they had two different products (A and B). Looking at the IR, they saw that A and B both had peaks that corresponded to a ketone and an ester (i.e. A has a ketone and an ester, and B has a ketone and an ester). Provide the structures for A and B. OEt NaOEt EtO A B They realized that even though they had a mixture of A and B, in their next step both A and B would both be transformed into C. Provide the structure for C, along with a mechanism showing either A or B being transformed into C. C is the major carbon containing molecule, not a byproduct. A Mechanism = H3O+, H₂O, A B C
