**Synthesis and Mechanism****Problem 7:****Preparation of the Compound**The compound shown below is synthesized using a mixture of formaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate under basic conditions, followed by acid-catalyzed decarboxylation. Describe all the steps and mechanisms involved in the preparation of this compound.**Step-by-Step Mechanism:**1. **Initial Reactants:** - Formaldehyde (HCHO) - Ethyl acetoacetate (CH3COCO2Et)2. **Condensation Reaction:** a. The reaction begins with the formation of an enolate from ethyl acetoacetate under basic conditions. b. The enolate then reacts with formaldehyde through an aldol condensation, forming a β-hydroxy ester intermediate.3. **Aldol Condensation:** - The β-hydroxy ester undergoes dehydration (removal of water), resulting in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond, leading to an α,β-unsaturated ester.4. **Cyclization:** - The condensation product undergoes intramolecular cyclization leading to the formation of a six-membered cyclic compound.5. **Decarboxylation:** a. The compound undergoes acid-catalyzed decarboxylation which removes the carboxyl group (CO2Et), resulting in the formation of the final compound.**Depicted Compound:** - A cyclic ketone with a methyl group (CH3) at one position and an ester group (CO2Et) at another position of the six-membered ring.**Mechanism Visualization:**The provided molecular structure in the image illustrates the final cyclic compound with its specific functional groups such as the ketone (carbonyl group) and ester (CO2Et group) attached to the cyclohexane ring.**Diagram Explanation:**- The hexagon represents a six-membered ring (cyclohexane) with a carbonyl group (C=O) and an ester group (CO2Et) attached.- Two double bonds are located within the ring indicating conjugation.- A methyl group (CH3) is attached to one carbon of the ring, and an ester group (CO2Et) is attached to the adjacent carbon.Understanding these mechanisms and the steps will help in comprehending how complex organic compounds can be synthesized using specific reactions and

Treatment of an ester with 1 equivalent of a strong base, such as sodium ethoxide, causes a reversible carbonyl condensation to occur that forms a ẞ-ketoester. This reaction is known as the Claisen condensation. The tetrahedral intermediate thus formed expels an alkoxide leaving group to give an acyl substitution product, a ẞ-ketoester. The steps leading up to this point are all reversible. The best yields for the Claisen condensation are obtained when the starting ester has more than one acidic a-hydrogen. In these cases, a second deprotonation of the a-carbon drives the reaction equilibrium toward the product, thus requiring a full equivalent of base instead of a catalytic amount. Subsequent protonation with dilute aqueous acid resultsn a high yield of the final product. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing…
