Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.57P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the conversion of A to B 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.
