Question

a) Give the appropriate base for the above reaction and draw the resonance structures of the enolate ions derived from compound A. Then write the mechanism for the formation of the Dieckmann cyclized product B. 


b) If compound B above is reacted with NaBH 4 , draw the structure of the reduced product. Give a reason for your choice of product.


c) Being a β-ketoester, B could undergo a 3-step synthesis involving alkylation, hydrolysis and decarboxylation reactions to yield the cyclopentanone, C. Write the outline synthesis for each step which include the appropriate regents and correct intermediate.
