Question: Treatment of ethyl acetoacetate with NaOEt (2 equiv) and BrCH2CH2Brforms compound X. This reaction is the first step in the synthesis of illudin-S, an antitumor substance isolated from thejack-o’-lantern, a poisonous, saffron-colored mushroom. What is the structure of X?

Question: What enolate is formed when each ketone is treated with LDA in THF solution? What enolate is formed when these same ketones are treated with NaOCH3in CH3OHsolution?



Question:The enolate derived from diethyl malonate reacts with a variety of electrophiles (not just alkyl halides) to form new carbon-carbon bonds. With this in mind, draw the products formed when Na+ –CH(CO2Et)2 reacts with each electrophile, followed by treatment with H2O.
Question: Synthesize each compound from cyclohexanone and organic halides having 4 C’s. You may use any other inorganic reagents.
a.

b.

c.

Question: Synthesize (Z)-hept-5-en-2-one from ethyl acetoacetate (CH3COCH2CO2Et ) and the given starting material. You may also use any other organic compounds or required inorganic reagents.
