Chapter 23, Problem 23.17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reagents needed to convert A to naproxen using enolate alkylation are to be predicted. The reason for the formation of a racemic product is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alkylation of aldehydes and ketones takes place in the presence of a strong base. The use of appropriate base, solvent and temperature can yield one major product regioselectively.
