Explanation of Solution
The aldol product that is formed by the reaction of the two molecules of butanal in the presence of base is shown as,
Figure 1
In this reaction, first of all, one equivalent of butanal is treated with the strong base that results in the formation of a resonance-stabilized enolate ion. This enolate ion reacts with the second equivalent of butanal followed by the hydrolysis that leads to the formation of the desired product,

Answer the question with the arrow: b) Give both structures and IUPAC names of the reactants for the compound below formed via a crossed aldol reaction with KOH as promotor. Explain why only one product is formed.arrow_forwardAs we will learn in Chapter 9, an epoxide is an ether with an oxygen atom in a three-membered ring. Epoxides can be made by intramolecular SN2 reactions of intermediates that contain a nucleophile and a leaving group on adjacent carbons, as shown.Assume that each of the following starting materials can be converted to an epoxide by this reaction. Draw the product formed (including stereochemistry) from each starting material. Why might some of these reactions be more difficult than others in yielding nucleophilic substitution products?arrow_forward
