Aldol condensation of 3-methyl cyclohexanone leads to a mixture of two enone products, not counting double-bond isomers. Draw them.
Which of the following compounds would you expect to undergo aldol self-condensation? Show the product of each successful reaction.
(a) Trimethyl acetaldehyde
(b) Cyclobutanone
(c) Benzophenone (diphenyl ketone)
(d) 3-Pentanone
(e) Decanal
(f) 3-Phenyl-2-propenal
The Mannich reaction of a ketone, an amine, and an aldehyde is one of the few three-component reactions in organic chemistry. Cyclohexanone, for example, reacts with dimethylamine and acetaldehyde to yield an amino ketone. The reaction takes place in two steps, both of which are typical carbonyl-group reactions.

(a)The first step is reaction between the aldehyde and the amine to yield an intermediate iminium ion plus water. Propose a mechanism, and show the structure of the intermediate iminium ion.
(b)The second step is reaction between the iminium ion intermediate and the ketone to yield the final product. Propose a mechanism.
Leucine, one of the twenty amino acids found in proteins, is metabolized by a pathway that includes the following step. Propose a mechanism.

What product would you expect from the following mixed Claisen-like reaction?
