3 2. (10 points) The following ester can be made through reacting acetoacetic ester (AAE) a. (2 points) Give the reactants as described above (you may "buy" these if needed). CH3 with formaldehyde in the presence of base, followed by acid and heat. OET b. (2 points) The first step is an aldol-like condensation. Draw the product. C. (2 points) The second step is a Michael addition with second equivalent of acetoacetic ester (AAE). Draw the product. d. (2 points) The third step is an intramolecular aldol condensation. Draw the product. e. (2 points) The fourth step is the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and decarboxylation. Draw the product
