Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The conversion of acetophenone into the given compound is to be done.
Concept introduction:
When only one 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.
(b)
Interpretation:
The conversion of acetophenone into the given compound is to be done.
Concept introduction:
When only one 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.
