(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In acid-catalysed Aldol condensation, nucleophilic addition of an enol takes place at a protonated carbonyl group. In the first step, enol is formed when carbonyl oxygen gets protonated. Then, deprotonation occurs at alpha carbon. In the next step, enol adds to the protonated carbonyl followed by deprotonation to give the aldol product.

(c)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In base-catalysed aldol condensation, nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion takes place on a carbonyl group. In first step, an alpha proton is removed to produce enolate ion. It adds to the carbonyl group. In the next step, protonation of alkoxide gives the aldol product.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see imagearrow_forward
