Question
Chapter 17, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Theterminology intramolecular Williamson reaction is to be explained by writing the structure of the product for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
The Williamson reaction is the synthesis of ether by nucleophilic substitution usingalkoxide ion.
In case of intramolecular Williamson reaction, the attacking and leaving groups are part of a single molecule and form cyclic ether.

Explain this observation: Ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate (C6H5CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford ortho- and para-disubstituted arenes, but ethyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate (C6H5CH=CHCO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford meta- disubstituted arenes.
We have seen that the alpha carbon atom of an enamine can function as a nucleophile in a Michael reaction, and in fact,
enamines can function as nucleophiles in a wide variety of reactions. For example, an enamine will undergo alkylation
when treated with an alkyl halide. Draw the structure of intermediate A and the alkylation product B in the following
reaction scheme (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1954, 76, 2029-2030):
TSOH
-H₂O
NH
A
1) CHgI
2) H₂O+
B +
NH
Modify the given copy of the starting material to draw compound A. If needed, use the single bond tool to interconvert
between double and single bonds.
Edit Drawing
The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of
formation of an enamine from a ketone,
Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and
hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal
Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and dimethylamine.
- Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and
- hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
