Question: Identify compounds A and B, two synthetic intermediates in the 1979 synthesis of the plant growth hormone gibberellic acid by Corey and Smith. Gibberellic acid induces cell division and elongation, thus making plants tall and leaves large.

Question: Draw the products of each reaction.
Question: What starting materials are needed to synthesize each compound by a Robinson annulation?
Question: Devise a synthesis of each compound from the given starting material. You may use any other organic compounds or required inorganic reagents
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 Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent once marketed under the trade name Vioxx, now withdrawn from the market because of the increased risk of heart attacks from long-term use in some patients.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.
