Question: Octinoxate is an unsaturated ester used as an active ingredient in sunscreens.(a) What carbonyl compounds are needed to synthesize this compound using a condensation reaction?(b) Devise a synthesis of octinoxate from the given organic starting materials and any other needed reagents.

Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, one step in the synthesis of the cholesterol-lowering drug pitavastatin, marketed in Japan as a calcium salt under the name Livalo.

Question: (a) Draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction of ethyl hexa-2,4-dienoate with diethyl oxalate in the presence of base.
(b) How does your mechanism explain why a new carbon-carbon bond forms on C6?

Question: Reaction of X and phenylacetic acid forms an intermediate Y, which undergoes an intramolecular reaction to yield rofecoxib. Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent once marketed under the trade name Vioxx, now withdrawn from the market because of the increased risk of heart attacks from long-term use in some patients. Identify Y and draw a stepwise mechanism for its conversion to rofecoxib.
