Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Structure of cyclic product with six-membered rings when 2,6-heptanedione and 2,8-nonanedione is treated with sodium hydroxide has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of
One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
If a compound has two functional groups that can react with each other, an intramolecular reaction readily occurs if the reaction leads to occur five or six-membered rings.
