The loss of CO2 (decarboxylation) from a ß-keto acid happens frequently in biological chemistry and takes place by a mechanism that is closely related to a retroaldol reaction. Propose a mechanism for the following reaction assuming there is an active site acid (HA) available: hel CH,CO2 D₂C B -0₂C CO₂ + CO₂

The reaction between isocyanide 1 and ketone 2 occurs only after a base (t-BuOK) is added to a solution of the reactants in ethanol and CH2Cl2. The final product is nitrile 4, which is believed to arise from ethanolysis of intermediate 3 under the reaction conditions. Draw a plausible reaction mechanism to describe the formation of 4 from 1 and 2. Draw all intermediates and show all electron-pushing. You are not expected to know if your proposed mechanism is the actual mechanism supported by experimental evidence, but it must be reasonable, and the electron pushing should be correct. Hint: start by deprotonating 1 and forming the first bond, then label and map the atoms onto the intermediate. Ts Ts = ONS=O N=C= t-BuO K H -- EtOH, CH2Cl2 2 3 NEC
