Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the diketone while considering the retrosynthetic analysis.is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction that consist of the addition of an enolate ion to the carbonyl group of the second aldehyde or ketonic group takes place to form β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, such reaction is called as the aldol reaction. In the case of intramolecular aldol condensation, a single compound possesses two carbonyl groups.

Retrosynthesis is used to identify the reactants. It involves the breaking of the target molecule into starting materials.

Isoamyl acetate (also known as isopentyl acetate) is an ester that is referred to as “banana flavor” due to its odor that resembles that of banana. It can be synthesized from isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid via nucleophilic acyl substitution mechanism. Propose a mechanism for the synthesis of isoamyl acetate from acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol.
Propose a mechanism for the reaction of benzyl acetate with methylamine. Label theattacking nucleophile and the leaving group, and draw the transition state in which theleaving group leaves.
