Suggest a mechanism (show electron movement, intermediates, and resonance forms if relevant, but not transition states) for the following carbonyl condensation reaction. This is probably not a transformation you have seen before now, each step is like others you have seen and you should be able to reason your way through it. No additional reagents other than those shown are necessary. R' NaOCH2CH3 R' R H₂C OCH2CH3 ་བྱ།ན་ OCH2CH3 CI R + NaCl + CH3CH2OH Propose a synthesis of the following ketone in a few steps starting from toluene (methyl benzene). You will get full credit by showing both the retrosynthetic analysis and the forward reaction scheme (reagents & conditions). Hint: you may find the reagent N-bromosuccimide to be useful for introducing functionality.

The strategy of using an alkene intermediate in a two-step process to convert one functional group into another (called a functional group interconversion) can apply to a wide variety of transformations. Identify the reagents you would use to accomplish the following functional group interconversion: OH The transformation above can be performed with a two-step synthesis. Select the suitable reagent(s) for the first step. O t-BuOK ○ NaOMe ○ TsCl, pyridine O conc. H2SO4, heat O dilute H2SO4
All rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cumene hydroperoxide to phenol and acetone.
A step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostaglandin E1, alprostadil) is the reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.
