Chapter 16, Problem 16.47P
The base-promoted rearrangement of an α-haloketone to a
It is proposed that NaOH first converts the a-haloketone to the substituted cyclopropanone shown in brackets and then to the sodium salt of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid.
- (a) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to the proposed intermediate.
- (b) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of the proposed intermediate to sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate.

please answer in the scope of the SCH4U course, I am having a hard time understanding, may you show all steps please and thank you! can you also put the final answers in the table so its understandable
Plan the synthesis of the following compound using the starting material provided and any other reagents
needed as long as carbon based reagents have 3 carbons or less. Either the retrosynthesis or the forward
synthesis (mechanisms are not required but will be graded if provided) will be accepted if all necessary
reagents and intermediates are shown (solvents and temperature requirements are not needed unless
specifically involved in the reaction, i.e. DMSO in the Swem oxidation or heat in the KMnO4 oxidation).
There may be more than one correct answer, and chemically correct steps will be accepted. Extra points
will be given if correct names are provided. The points earned here will be applied to your lowest exam
