A Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of lactone A to ester B using HCI in ethanol. B is converted in one step to ethyl chrysanthemate, a useful intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of pyrethrins, naturally occurring insecticides with three-membered rings that are isolated from chrysanthemums HCI OH B one step ethyl chrysanthemate

A key step in the synthesis of β-vetivone, a major constituent of vetiver, a perennial grass found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, involved the reaction of compound A and dihalide B with two equivalents of LDA to form C. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction. β-Vetivone contains a spiro ring system—that is, two rings that share a single carbon atom.
Devise a synthesis of compound A from the given starting materials. You may use any other inorganic reagents or organic alcohols. A was used to prepare aliskiren, a drug used to treat hypertension (see also Problem 5.7). CH,0 NH2 OH но. CHO Br CH,0. H2N. CH;0 CH30 A CH,0 Br Br aliskiren
Muscalure, the sex pheromone of the common housey, can be prepared by a reaction sequence that uses two nucleophilic substitutions. Identify compounds A–D in the following synthesis of muscalure.
Ibufenac, a para-disubstituted arene with the structureHO2CCH2C6H4CH2CH(CH3)2 , is a much more potent analgesic thanaspirin, but it was never sold commercially because it caused livertoxicity in some clinical trials. Devise a synthesis of ibufenac frombenzene and organic halides having fewer than five carbons.
