In the mixed Claisen reaction of cyclopentanone with ethyl format, a much higher yield of the desired product is obtained by first mixing the two carbonyl components and then adding a base, rather than by first mixing base with cyclopentanone and then adding ethyl format. Explain.
1-Butanol is prepared commercially by a route that begins with an aldol reaction. Show the steps that are likely to be involved.
Aldol condensation of 3-methyl cyclohexanone leads to a mixture of two enone products, not counting double-bond isomers. Draw them.
