- CH3 Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C H3C Aldehydes and ketones are converted into alkenes by means of a direct nucleophilic addition called the Wittig reaction. In the reaction, a triphenylphosphorine ylide, also called a phosphorane, adds to an aldehyde/ketone to give a four-membered cyclic intermediate called an oxaphosphetane. The oxaphosphetane is not isolated but instead spontaneously decomposes to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene. Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C The ylide is formed by reaction of triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, with a primary alkyl halide in an S 2 reaction, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a strong base, such as butyllithium. The carbonyl carbon and the carbon originally bonded to the halogen become the two carbons with the double bond in the product alkene :0: CH3 Com The real value of the Wittig reaction lies in its ability to yield an alkene of predictable structure, as the C-C bond is precisely where the C=O bond was in the reactant and no isomers (other than…arrow_forwardA "condensation" reaction involves the loss of a small neutral molecule as a follow-up step to an addition reaction. The product is an a,ß-unsaturated aldehyde (or ketone). (*In aldol condensations, the small neutral molecule is water.) Which of the three products shown is the correct aldol condensation products of the reaction shown. Write the mechanism for the dehydration step.

- There are two kinds of aldolases. Class I aldolases are found in animals and plants, whereas class II aldolases are found in fungi, algae, and some bacteria. Only class I aldolases form an imine. Class II aldolases have a metal ion (Zn2+) at the active site. Propose a mechanism for catalysis by class II aldolases.arrow_forwardcyclohexanone + piperidinearrow_forwardIn an aldol condensation reaction, acetone and benzaldehyde are mixed in the presence of sodium hydroxide to produce dibenzalacetone. Does it matter whether the acetone is added first to the aq. NaOH solution then the benzaldehyde, or if the benzaldehyde is added first to the aq. NaOH solution, then the acetone?
