Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structure of X is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: When only carbonyl component has an alpha hydrogen atom, then a cross aldol reaction will occur. There will be formation of only one product. The yield of single cross aldol condensation reaction is enhanced if the electrophilic carbonyl compound is relatively unhindered.

Draw the structure of the major reaction product when the following compound reacts with sodium acetylide, assuming that the reaction takes
preferentially from the Si face of the carbonyl group.
• Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.
• You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
• If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.

H₂O H3C OH Br The a-bromination of carbonyl compounds by Br₂ in acetic acid is limited to aldehydes and ketones because acids, esters, and amides don't enolize to a sufficient extent. Carboxylic acids, however, can be a-brominated by first converting the carboxylic acid to an acid bromide by treatment with PBr3. Following enolization of the acid bromide, Br2 reacts in an a-substitution reaction. Hydrolysis of the acid bromide completes the reaction.
