(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To prepare the cyclic product other than six-membered rings from intramolecular aldol addition of

2,6-heptanedione

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.

If a compound has two functional groups that can react with each other, an intramolecular reaction readily occurs if the reaction leads to occur five or six-membered rings.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To prepare the cyclic product other than six-membered rings from intramolecular aldol addition of

2,8-nonanedione

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.

If a compound has two functional groups that can react with each other, an intramolecular reaction readily occurs if the reaction leads to occur five or six-membered rings.

In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, dialkylation is often a significant by-product. In the Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene, diacylation is not a significant by-product. Which of the following is the primary reason for this difference? a. Acyl cations are more difficult to make with Lewis acids b.Unlike acyl cations, carbocations can undergo rearrangements. c.Alkyl groups activate the ring to further substitution, acyl groups deactivate it. d. Alkyl groups activate the ring to further substitution, acyl groups deactivate it
