Question
Chapter 13, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The product formed when 2,7-octadione and aqueous sodium hydroxide has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Given reaction follows a series of steps to form final compound.
A diketone reacts with strong base sodium hydroxide. A cyclic product is formed. The reaction of diketone with base is an intramolecular reaction. The enolate ion formed by abstraction of base acts as a nucleophile and attacks carbonyl carbon to give a final compound.
