Answer to Problem 28MP
The dehydration product formed in the addition reaction of butanal is 2-ethyl-2-hexenal.
The mechanism of its formation is
Explanation of Solution
In the first step the base picks up an acidic proton from the diketone to produce the enolate anion. In the next step the nucleophilic enolate anion attacks the electrophilic carbon of the other carbonyl group in the same molecule to give an alkoxide. In the next step the alkoxide intermediate is protonated to yield the β- hydroxyl aldehyde. Removal of a proton by the base from the hydroxy aldehyde leads to the formation of α, β- unsaturated aldehyde.

b)
Interpretation:
The dehydration product formed in the addition reaction given along with the mechanism of its formation is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Aldehydes and ketones that have α- hydrogen atom undergo aldol condensation to yield a β- hydroxyl aldehyde or ketone as the product. The reaction occurs in three steps i) Abstraction of α- hydrogen by a base to yield an enolate anion ii) Attack of the anion on the carbonyl carbon of another molecule iii) Protonation of the alkoxide intermediate.
The β- hydroxyl aldehyde or ketone obtained on heating loses a water molecule to yield an α, β- unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.

Answer to Problem 28MP
The dehydration product formed in the addition reaction of cyclobutanone is
The mechanism of its formation is
Explanation of Solution
In the first step the base picks up a proton from the α-carbon of one cyclobutanone molecule to produce the enolate anion. In the next step the nucleophilic enolate anion attacks the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of another cyclobutanoe molecule to give an alkoxide. In the next step the alkoxide intermediate is protonated to yield a β- hydroxyketone. In the final step the base picks up a proton from the hydroxyl group that leads to the formation of α, β- unsaturated ketone.

Answer to Problem 28MP
The dehydration product formed in the addition reaction given is
The mechanism of its formation is
Explanation of Solution
In the first step the base picks up a proton from the α-carbon of acetaldehyde as it has α- hydrogen atoms to produce the enolate anion. In the next step the nucleophilic enolate anion attacks the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of benzaldehyde to give an alkoxide. In the next step the alkoxide intermediate is protonated to yield a β- hydroxyaldehyde. In the final step the base picks up a proton from the hydroxyl group that leads to the formation of α, β- unsaturated aldehyde.

Concept introduction:
In intramolecular aldol reactions dicarbonyl compounds such as diketones react with a base to yield a cyclic enone as the products. The reaction occurs in four steps i) Abstraction of α-hydrogen by a base to yield an enolate anion ii) Attack of the anion on the carbonyl carbon in another molecule iii) Protonation of the alkoxide intermediate. iv) Loss of water from the keto alcohol upon heating.
