Describe how the following compounds could be prepared from cyclohexanone using an enamine intermediate:
a.

b.

Using cyclopentanone as the reactant, show the product of a. acid-catalyzedketo–enolinterconversion. b. an aldol addition. c. an aldol condensation.
Starting with methyl propanoate, how could you prepare 4-methyl-3-heptanone?

An aldol addition can be catalyzed by acids as well as by bases. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzedaldol addition of propanal.
Draw the products of the following reactions:
a. diethyl heptanedioate: (1) sodium ethoxide; (2) HCl
b. pentanoic acid + PBr3 + Br2, followed by hydrolysis
c. acetone + LDA/THF: (1) slow addition of ethyl acetate; (2) HCl
d. diethyl 2-ethylhexanedioate: (1) sodium ethoxide; (2) HCl
e. diethyl malonate: (1) sodium ethoxide; (2) isobutyl bromide; (3) HCl, H2O + ∆
f. acetophenone + LDA/THF: (1) slow addition of diethyl carbonate; (2) HCl
