Chapter 24, Problem 24.68P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The compounds needed to carry out Step [1] are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In crossed claisen condensation reaction, the base abstracts the acidic proton from α carbon atom of an ester to form enolate. This enolate reacts with carbonyl group of other ester that leads to the formation of a β-ketoester. The crossed Claisen condensation always takes place between the two different carbonyl compounds.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The compounds needed to carry out Step [1] are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In crossed claisen condensation reaction, the base abstracts the acidic proton from α carbon atom of an ester to form enolate. This enolate reacts with carbonyl group of other ester that leads to the formation of a β-ketoester. The crossed Claisen condensation always takes place between the two different carbonyl compounds.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The detailed mechanism for step [3] is to be drawn.

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.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The detailed mechanism for step [4] is to be drawn. The reason as to why the product formed is unusual is to be stated.

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.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The reason behind the unnecessary addition and removal of formyl group is to be predicted.

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.
