Chapter 23, Problem 23.76P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of X is to be identified in the given reaction. The mechanism for conversion of X to β-vetivone is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Nucleophilc addition reaction is a type of organic reaction in which the nucleophile is added to the electrophilic site. In case of carbonyl compounds the carbonyl carbon acts as electrophilic site.

β-Vetivone is isolated from vetiver, a perennial grass that yields a variety of compounds used in traditional eastern medicine, pest control, and fragrance. In one synthesis, ketone A is converted to β-vetivone by a two-step process:Michael reaction, followed by intramolecular aldol reaction. (a) What Michael acceptor is needed for the conjugate addition? (See Problem 23.61 for another method to form the bicyclic ring system of β-vetivone.) (b) Draw a stepwise mechanism for the aldol reaction, which forms the six-membered ring.
