When pentane-2,4-dione is treated with one molar equivalent of sodium carbonate and bromoethane, 3-ethylpentane-2,4-dione is the major product. If NaNH, is the base and two molar equivalents are used, however, then heptane-2,4-dione is the major product. Explain 1. Na,CO3 (1 equiv) 2. CH,CH,Br CH,CH3 these observations. Pentane-2,4-dione 1.
