Interpretation:
a) The first step in the preparation of Hagemann’s ester, an aldol-like condensation between ethylacetoacetate and formaldehyde to produce a α, β-unsaturated product and the structure of the product is to be shown.
b) The structure of the product obtained in the second step which is a Michael reaction between the product of the first step and ethyl acetoactate is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In the first step in the preparation of Hagemann’s ester involving a mixed aldol like condensation reaction, ethyl acetoacetate yields an enolate anion which attacks formaldehyde to yield an α, β-unsaturated product.
In the second step α, β-unsaturated product obtained in the first step acts as a donor and ethyl acetoacetate acts as the acceptor (Michael reaction) to yield the product.
To give:
a) The first step in the preparation of Hagemann’s ester, an aldol-like condensation between ethylacetoacetate and formaldehyde to produce α, β-unsaturated product and the structure of the product.
b) The structure of the product obtained in the second step which is a Michael reaction between the product of the first step and ethyl acetoactate.

Propose structural formulas for compounds A and B and the diketone.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate.

- Carboxylic acid is treated with an alcohol and an acid catalyst, an ester is formed and this reaction is called the Fischer esterification. From the reaction, propose the mechanism of ester esterification and ester hydrolysis and their relationshiparrow_forwardIsoamyl acetate (also known as isopentyl acetate) is an ester that is referred to as “banana flavor” due to its odor that resembles that of banana. It can be synthesized from isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid via nucleophilic acyl substitution mechanism. Propose a mechanism for the synthesis of isoamyl acetate from acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol.arrow_forwardThe Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
