Propose a complete, stepwise, curved-arrow reaction mechanism for this base-catalyzed retro-aldo transformation. You do not need...
1. Draw the complete curved-arrow mechanism for the base-catalyzed aldol condensation to form dehydrorheosmin (or dehydrozingerone) from acetone and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (or vanillin). (2 points)
How do you draw the stepwise mechanism of this reaction? (please include curved arrow notation) W ars H20
3. Mechanism: Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the following hydrolysis reaction, only draw the mechanism from the starting material to the neutral functional group intermediate. Additionally, indicate what is in the final product by writing Y="appropriate atom here". Use only the reagents provided below, in your mechanism. (5 pts) excess NaOH H2O, heat HNĐ neutral functional group intermediate 9. Mechanism: Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the following reaction. Please be aware that during the mechanism you will form...
11. The bowhead whale, which has a large head that is up to 40% of its body length, lives in the Arctic. The age of the bowhead whale is estimated by measuring the extent to which the amino acid Asp (aspartic acid), which is found in the eyes of the whales, has undergone racemization. For example, 100% of (L.) aspartic acid racemizes towards a more 50:50 mixture of (L) and (D-aspartic acid Provide a complete, stepwise, curved-arrow mechanism for the...
