single reaction sequence: a certain ketone undergoes alkylation to give new ketone, when reacted with a base and then an alkylating agent, 1-bromopropane. What is the structure of the final ketone product?
Account for the fact that hydroperoxidation of ethers is regioselective (i.e., reaction occurs preferentially at a carbon adjacent to the ether oxygen).
When heated, allyl aryl ethers and allyl vinyl ethers undergo a reaction called a Claisen rearrangement, a concerted reorganization of bonding electrons similar to the Diels-Alder reaction. The reaction proceeds through a six-membered, cyclic transition state.
Draw the structure of the expected product when this compound undergoes a Claisen rearrangement.
