Question: Avobenzone is a conjugated compound that absorbs ultraviolet light with wavelengths in the 320–400 nm region, so it is a common ingredient in commercial sunscreens. Write out two different crossed Claisen reactions that form avobenzone.

Question: Answer the following questions about 2-acetylcyclopentanone.
a. What starting materials are needed to form 2-acetylcyclopentanone by a Claisen reaction that forms bond (a)?
b. What starting materials are needed to form 2-acetylcyclopentanone by a Claisen reaction that forms bond (b)?
c. What product is formed when 2-acetylcyclopentanone is treated with , followed by ?
d. Draw the Robinson annulation product(s) formed by reaction of 2-acetylcyclopentanone with methyl vinyl ketone .
e. Draw the structure of the most stable enol tautomer(s).
Question: Which of the following bicyclic ring systems can be prepared by an intermolecular Robinson annulation?
Question: Which of the following compounds can serve as Michael acceptors?
Question: In theory, the intramolecular aldol reaction of 6-oxoheptanal could yield the three compounds shown. It turns out, though, that 1-acetylcyclopentene is by far the major product. Why are the other two compounds formed in only minor amounts? Draw a stepwise mechanism to show how all three products are formed.
