The compound shown here is the product of a base-catalyzed aldol condensation. Draw the structure of the nonaromatic-containing starting material that is present before the aldol condensation and the aldol addition. The image depicts the structural formula of the organic compound *3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one*. This compound includes the following structural features:1. **Phenyl Group**: On the left side, there is a benzene ring, represented as a hexagon with alternating double bonds, which is known as a phenyl group.2. **Carbonyl Group**: Attached to the phenyl group is a carbonyl group (C=O), where the carbon atom is double-bonded to an oxygen atom.3. **Butenone Chain**: Extending from the carbonyl group is a four-carbon chain: - The first carbon is part of the carbonyl group. - The second carbon has a double bond to the third carbon, indicating an unsaturated bond (alkene). - The third carbon is bonded to a methyl group (CH₃). - A double bond between the second and third carbon signifies it as an α,β-unsaturated ketone.This illustration demonstrates how the atoms are arranged and bonded in the compound and is typically used in organic chemistry to understand molecular structure and reactivity.

This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of 1. formation of an enamine from a ketone, 2. Michael addition to an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and 3. hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
