Chapter 19, Problem 19.18P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of the aldol reaction of the given compound and the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone formed from dehydration of the aldol product has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of aldehydes and ketones. Aldol reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydroxide. 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 β-hydroxy aldehyde if two aldehydes combine and β-hydroxy ketone if two ketones combine.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The aldol reaction product for the given compound has to be drawn.

The aldol reaction yield a β-hydroxy aldehyde as the product and on dehydration, water is eliminated and the product is formed.

Base abstracts a proton from the α carbon atom of aldehyde. Enolate anion is formed after abstraction of α proton from aldehyde molecule. Enolate ion attacks on the carbonyl carbon of the other molecule of aldehyde. The species formed in this step abstracts proton from water to give the β-hydroxy aldehyde. Loss of water molecule from the aldol product produces the product given below.

2 H3C H3C H C→XT OH H3C The aldol reaction is a carbonyl condensation reaction between two carbonyl partners and involves a combination of nucleophilic addition and a-substitution steps. One partner is converted into an enolate ion nucleophile and adds to the electrophilic carbonyl group of the second partner. In the classic aldol reaction, the carbonyl partners are aldehydes or ketones, although aldehydes are more reactive. The product is a ß-hydroxy carbonyl compound. base :0: OH H H Under reaction conditions slightly more vigorous than those employed for the aldol reaction, the ß-hydroxyl group is eliminated in an E1cB dehydration to give an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
