Chapter 21, Problem 103IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To describe how the given compound can be prepared using malonic ester synthesis starting from diethyl malonate and other reagents

Concept introduction:

Malonic ester synthesis is a process in which an halide is converted to a carboxylic acid with two new carbon atoms (comes from malonic ester).  By use of this method two new alkyl groups can be introduced.  A general scheme of this synthesis is shown below,

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-STD.WILEY PLUS CARD, Chapter 21, Problem 103IP , additional homework tip  1

Please do remember that if alkyldihalide is used for malonic ester synthesis a cyclic product is expected. (intramolecular malonic ester synthesis)

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-STD.WILEY PLUS CARD, Chapter 21, Problem 103IP , additional homework tip  2

Steps involved in malonic ester synthesis are,

  • Deprotonation of α carbon in malonic acid ester
  • Alkylation of enolate
  • Hydrolysis of ester using aqueous acid
  • Decarboxylation at high temperature

The formed carboxylic acid can be converted into carboxylic acid derivatives by reaction with respective reagents,

  • Ester=carboxylic acid + alcohol
  • Alchol=reduction of carboxylic acid
  • Amide=Reaction with ammonia

To describe : To describe how the given compound can be synthesized using diethyl malonate and other reagent.
