When cyclodecane-1,6-dione is treated with sodium carbonate, the product gives a UV spectrum similar to that of 1-acetyl-2-methylcyclopentene. Propose a structure for the product, and give a mechanism for its formation.
Show the products of the reactions of these carboxylic acids with before and after hydrolysis.
Predict the major products of the following reactions.
a)

Predict the products of the following reactions.
(a) Although the following compound is a substituted acetone derivative, it cannot be made by the acetoacetic ester synthesis. Explain why (two reasons).

(b) The use of LDA to make enolate ions (Sections 22-2B and 22-3) has provided alternatives to the acetoacetic ester synthesis. Show how you might make the compound shown in part (a), beginning with 1,3-diphenylacetone.
(c) Enamine reactions (Section 22-4) occur under relatively mild conditions, and they often give excellent yields of compounds like the one shown in part (a). Show how you might use an enamine reaction for this synthesis, beginning with 1,3-diphenylacetone.
