Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formed on protonation of the intermediate enolate formed in anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of given unsaturated alcohol is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement is a thermal [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. This rearrangement takes place in unsaturated alcohol to form more carbonyl compound.

Sigmatropic rearrangements are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. In these rearrangements migration of sigma bond takes place.

Answer the following question about curcumin, a yellow pigmentisolated from turmeric, a tropical perennial in the ginger family and aprincipal ingredient in curry powder. Most enols, compounds that contain a hydroxy group bonded to a C=C, are unstable and tautomerize to carbonyl groups. Draw the keto form of the enol of curcumin, and explain why the enol is more stable than many other enols.
