Following is a retrosynthetic analysis for the synthesis of the herbicide (S)-Metolachlor from 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline, chloroacetic acid, acetone, and methanol. CI OMe OMe OMe 'N' HN N CI. + НО, Chloroacetic acid (S)-Metolachlor 3 NH2 CI + MEOH OMe Acetone Methanol 2-Ethyl-6-methylaniline Show reagents and experimental conditions for the synthesis of Metolachlor from these four organic starting materials. Your synthesis will most likely give a racemic mixture. The chiral catalyst used by Novartis for reduction in Step 2 gives 80% enantiomeric excess of the S enantiomer.

H₂C OEt H₂C OEt 1. NaOEt, EtOH 2. H₂O* H₂C EtOH OEt Esters, like aldehydes and ketones, are weakly acidic. 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…
