Question: Draw the product formed when each dicarbonyl compound undergoes an intramolecular aldol reaction followed by dehydration.
Short Answer
Answer
Step by step solution
Intra-molecular aldol reaction
This reaction produces a five or six-membered ring as the two carbonyl groups tend to make a C-C bond within the same compound.
Aldol product dehydration
Upon dehydration, the -hydroxy carbonyl product of the aldol reaction forms an -unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.
Product of the given reaction
a. Since the enolizable carbonyl group and the -carbon is 5 carbon atoms apart, the ring formed is five-membered.
Product of a.
b. Since the enolizable carbonyl group and the -carbon is 6 carbon atoms apart, the ring formed is six-membered.
Product of b.
c. Since the enolizable carbonyl group and the -carbon is 6 carbon atoms apart, the ring formed is six-membered.
Product of c.
