How might the following compounds be prepared using Michael reactions? Show the nucleophilic donor and the electrophilic acceptor in each case.

Intramolecular aldol cyclization of 2,5-heptanedione with aqueous NaOH yields a mixture of two enone products in the approximate ratio 9;1. Write their structures, and show how each is formed.
In contrast to the rapid reaction shown in Problem 23-60, ethyl acetoacetate requires a temperature over 150 掳C to undergo the same kind of cleavage reaction. How can you explain the difference in reactivity?

As shown in Figures 23-4, the Claisen reaction is reversible. That is, a饾泝-keto ester can be cleaved by base into two fragments. Using curved arrows to indicate electron flow, show the mechanism by which this cleavage occurs.

Leucine, one of the twenty amino acids found in proteins, is metabolized by a pathway that includes the following step. Propose a mechanism.
