While your aldol reaction was running, your TA announced that the the sodium hydroxide solution (10%, or 2.5 M) ADP was mistakenly set to 100 ul instead of 400 ul. Perhaps just to quell the obvious frustration among the students upon learing this news, the TA then stated that all reactions would still proceed to completion. Knowing that a portion of the lab report grade is dependent on product quality and yield, many students decided to clean up and set up the reaction again, with 400 µL of sodium hydroxide solution. a) How many mmoles of NaOH should have been used (400 µL)? b) How many mmoles of NaOH was actually used (100 uL)? c) Was your TA correct? In other words, with only 100 ul of sodium hydroxide solution, would the aldol reaction still proceed to completion to give the desired product? d) Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Review Topics [References] The Robinson annulation is a combination of two carbonyl coupling reactions, the Michael reaction and the intramolecular aldol condensation The most common partners in the reaction are a nucleophilic donor (such as a cyclic ketone, a Bketo ester, an enamine, or a B-diketone) and an a,B-unsaturated ketone acceptor. The product is a substituted 2-cyclohexenone derivative. Draw the structures of the nucleophilic pyrrolidine enamine and the aB-unsaturated ketone acceptor that were combined in a Robinson annulation to give the following product: ョンノ 000- IF

This is for Aldol Condensation Lab: Why was the acetone the limiting reagent for this lab? What would have likely happened if benzaldehyde was the limiting reagent instead? What is the driving force for this reaction? What physical property also assists in keeping the equilibrium headed towards product? The same physical property that helps drive the reaction to completion can also stall out the reaction before it starts. What do we do in the procedure that helps minimize this concern? What is this reaction classified as?
