Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  1. No
  2. Yes
  3. No
  4. Yes

Step by step solution

01

Aldol reaction

This reaction is either carried out with ketone or aldehyde. However, the alpha hydrogen must be present in the compound.

02

Explanation

a. The given compound does not have α hydrogen. Thus, it will not provide an aldol reaction.

b. The given compound has α hydrogen, as shown below. Thus, it will not provide an aldol reaction.

Given compound in b

c. The given compound does not have α hydrogen. Thus, it will not provide an aldol reaction.

d. The given compound has α hydrogen, as shown below. Thus, it will not provide an aldol reaction.

Question: Reaction of X and phenylacetic acid forms an intermediate Y, which undergoes an intramolecular reaction to yield rofecoxib. Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent once marketed under the trade name Vioxx, now withdrawn from the market because of the increased risk of heart attacks from long-term use in some patients. Identify Y and draw a stepwise mechanism for its conversion to rofecoxib.
