When 2-methyl cyclohexanone is converted into an enamine, only one product is formed despite the fact that the starting ketone is unsymmetrical. Build molecular models of the two possible products and explain the fact that the sole product is the one with the double bond opposite the methyl-substituted carbon.
Which of the following compounds can probably be prepared by a mixed aldol reaction? Show the reactants you would use in each case.
What product would you expect from the following mixed Claisen-like reaction?
Using curved arrows to indicate the electron flow in each step, show how the base-catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone takes place to yield 2 equivalents of acetone.
