Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The validation of the fact that among the given products, 1-acetylcyclopentene is the major product and other are minor products is to be stated. The stepwise mechanism for the formation of given products is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction that takes place within the same molecule in presence of strong base is known as intramolecular aldol reactions. This reaction takes place within the dicarbonyl compounds in which one carbonyl group forms the enolate that acts as a nucleophile and reacts with second carbonyl group which acts as electrophile.
