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.
