Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon atoms involved in the carbon-carbon bond forming step in the given reactionare to be determined.

Concept introduction:

During the intramolecular aldol condensation, a slightly longer polyketide chain, a carbonyl tautomerizes to an enol.

This enol acts as a nucleophile and attacks a carbonyl carbon, forming a stable six membered ring.

This is the step in which a new carbon-carbon bond is formed.
