Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of 2methyl3oxocyclopentanecarboxylicacid is to be outlined and the structure of each intermediate is to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The addition which takes place between nucleophile and α,βunsaturated carbonyl compound is known as Michael addition. The α,βunsaturated compounds represent the Michael acceptor and nucleophile represents the Michael donor.

The intramolecular chemical reaction which takes place between diesters and an alkoxide base in order to form β-keto esters is known as Dieckmann condensation.
