dimedone reacts with each other, and then with the aminotriazole to form compound 1a in the presence of an acid catalyst. Provide a detailed reaction mechanism. During the development of the optimized procedure for the experiment, it was found out that compound 1b can also be produced from the same set of starting materials. Propose a detailed reaction mechanism for the formation of 1b. Explain your answer.  What factor/s may drive the formation of 1b over 1a?
