Chapter 26, Problem 61CP

I have a bottle of butanal that has been improperly used by lab workers. They allowed a traceamount NaOH (aq) to contaminate the bottle. What is now in my bottle of “butanal? What is the molecular name and functional group name? Draw the structure.

Provide the missing information. *see image

First image: Why can't the molecule C be formed in those conditions  Second image: Synthesis for lactone C its not an exam

First image: I have to show the mecanism for the reaction on the left, where the alcohol A is added fast in one portion Second image: I have to show the mecanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary

First image: I have to explain why the molecule C is never formed in those conditions. Second image: I have to propose a synthesis for the lactone A

First image: I have to explain why the molecule C is never formed in these conditions Second image: I have to propose a synthesis for the lactone A

Help fix my arrows please
