a) Ketoacid Z below can be synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate W via an acetoacetic ester synthesis. The B-ketoester W can be initially synthesized by Claisen condensation reaction of ester V. NaOEt NaOEt Base Ester V OEt CH,Br OEt | HO CH, Ketoacid Z i) Identify the structure of ester V. ii) Transformation of W to X and X to Y are alkylation reactions. Draw the structures of the intermediates X and Y. Determine a suitable base for the conversion of X to Y. iii) With regards to the formation of the ketoacid Z from Y, show the steps involved in the reaction by giving the appropriate intermediates, reagents and reaction conditions. iv) Explain why only one of the carbonyl groups in Y is lost as carbon dioxide gas.
