QUESTION 1 Consider the following intramolecular Aldol condensation and dehydration of dicarbonyl compound X. a) Based on the structure of the enone formed, provide a mechanism for the above reaction in the presence of sodium hydroxide. being an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, enone Y could undergo Michael addition and consequently Robinson annulation with a carbonyl reactant in the presence of a base. Draw the structures of the Michael product and the Robinson product for the reaction of Y with acetophenone, PhCOCH3.
