Short Answer

Expert verified

Answers

The pentan-2-one be converted into each compound by the following reactions:

Step by step solution

01

Function of LDA

LDA is a strong and bulky base that abstracts protons from the less hindered site and yields a kinetic product(less substituted product).

Representation of the function of LDA

02

 Step 2: Function of potassium tert-butoxide

Potassium tert-butoxide is a strong base that abstracts protons from the more hindered site and yields a thermodynamic product(more substituted product).

03

Alkylation

Alkylation is the process of the addition of an alkyl group adjacent to a carbonyl group where an alkyl group replaces hydrogen.

04

Formation of required products

The pentan-2-one is converted into each of the compounds below by the following reactions:-
