Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The cyclic product formed from the given dihalide is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The α hydrogen attached to the diester is acidic in nature and on heating the diester followed by hydrolysis gives β- diacid which loses CO2 to give carboxylic acid. An intramolecular malonic ester synthesis can be used to form ring structures having three to six atoms from an appropriate halide.
