Short Answer

Expert verified

Chemical reaction (a)

Chemical reaction (b)

Chemical reaction (c)

Chemical reaction (d)

Step by step solution

01

The product of reaction (a)

The product formed from the given reaction is,

Chemical reaction (a)

One of the carboxylic acid group is removed from the gem di carboxylate group and forms a monocarboxylic acid group.

02

The product of reaction (b)

The product formed from the given reaction is,

Chemical reaction (b)

The -CH2group that is in between the two electron withdrawing groups will be the most acidic group and on reaction with a base, it forms a carbanion intermediate.

This on reaction with alkyl halide, forms a new C-C bond.

03

The product of reaction (c)

The product formed from the given reaction is,

Chemical reaction (c)

04

The product of reaction (d)

The product formed from the given reaction is,

Chemical reaction (d)
