Chapter 24, Problem 24.51P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The validation of the fact that among the given products, 1-acetylcyclopentene is the major product and other are minor products is to be stated. The stepwise mechanism for the formation of given products is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction that takes place within the same molecule in presence of strong base is known as intramolecular aldol reactions. This reaction takes place within the dicarbonyl compounds in which one carbonyl group forms the enolate that acts as a nucleophile and reacts with second carbonyl group which acts as electrophile.

In theory, the intramolecular aldol reaction of 6-oxoheptanal could yield the three compounds shown. It turns out, though, that 1-acetylcyclopentene is by far the major product. Why are the other two compounds formed in only minor amounts? Draw a stepwise mechanism to show how all three products are formed.
4. Give the structures of the aldol products that form when each of the following compounds or mixtures is treated with NAOH. a) Butanal b) Cyclopentanone c) Acetophenone d)-Chlorobenzaldehyde and 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone
What is the product if this compound underwent aldol condesation with a base (NaOH), and how?
