Treatment of the minor product formed in the intramolecular aldol cyclization of 2,5-heptanedione (Problems 23-51 and 23-52) with aqueous NaOH converts it into the major product. Propose a mechanism to account for this base-catalyzed isomerization.
The bicyclic ketone shown below does not undergo aldol self-condensation even though it has two hydrogen atoms. Explain.

The following molecule was formed by an intramolecular aldol reaction. What dicarbonyl precursor was used for its preparation?
What condensation products would you expect to obtain by treatment of the following substances with sodium ethoxide in ethanol?
(a)Ethyl butanoate
(b)Cycloheptanone
(c)3,7-Nonanedione
(d)3-Phenylpropanal
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.
