Question: 4-Methylpyridine reacts with benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO)in the presence of a base to form A.

(a) Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction.

(b) Would you expect 2-methylpyridine or 3-methylpyridine to undergo a similar type of condensation reaction? Explain why or why not.

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 Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent once marketed under the trade name Vioxx, now withdrawn from the market because of the increased risk of heart attacks from long-term use in some patients.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.
