What product would you expect from the following mixed Claisen-like reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The product from the above reactants when they undergo a mixed Claisen-like reaction are acetate and alcohol.

Step by step solution

01

Mixed Claisen Reaction

A mixed Claisen reaction is effective when only one of the two partners has an acidic α- hydrogen atom and the other does not therefore, one form of acetate can convert into an enolate ion hence one is a donor and another is an accepter.

02

Chemical reaction occurs (Mixed Claisen reaction):

Leucine, one of the twenty amino acids found in proteins, is metabolized by a pathway that includes the following step. Propose a mechanism.

The third and fourth steps in the synthesis of Hagemann’s ester from ethyl acetoacetate and formaldehyde (Problem 23-71) are an intramolecular aldol cyclization to yield a substituted cyclohexenone, and a decarboxylation reaction. Write both reactions, and show the products of each step.

The Stork enamine reaction and the intramolecular aldol reaction can be carried out in sequence to allow the synthesis of cyclohexanones. For example, the reaction of the pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone with 3-buten-2-one, followed by enamine hydrolysis and base treatment, yields the product indicated. Write each step, and show the mechanism of each.

Treatment of a 1,3-diketone such as 2,4-pentanedione with base does not give an aldol condensation product. Explain.

Intramolecular aldol cyclization of 2,5-heptanedione with aqueous NaOH yields a mixture of two enone products in the approximate ratio 9;1. Write their structures, and show how each is formed.
