For each molecule shown below,








Predict the products of these reaction sequences.

Propose a mechanism for the conjugate addition of a nucleophile (Nuc:-) to acrylonitrile (H2C=CHCN) and to nitroethylene. Use resonance forms to show how the cyano and nitro groups activate the double bond toward conjugate addition.
Question:Show how you would use an aldol, Claisen, or another type of condensation to make each compound
d.

The following compounds can be synthesized by aldol condensations, followed by further reactions. (In each case, work backward from the target molecule to an aldol product, and show what compounds are needed for the condensation.)
