Chapter 24, Problem 24.58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the conversion of succinaldehyde to compound X is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction that takes place in the different molecules in presence of strong base is known as intermolecular aldol reactions.

The Aldol condensation reaction that takes place within the same molecule in the 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.

HW10 #21
Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO –) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme (Section 19.6). This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following variation of the aldol reaction, often called a nitro aldol reaction.
