Since the speed of the aldol condensation of acetone and benzaldehyde depends on the concentration of both organic reagents and the base, indicate which of the steps of the total reaction is the determining step of the rapidity. Use equations.
Please write out a reaction aldol mechanism for the reaction of benzaldehyde and acetophenone and Naoh with p-anisaldehyde to form a chalcone
Aldol condensation reaction requires the loss of a molecule of water and hence performing the reaction in water should disfavor this reversible dehydration from occurring. Based on your observations during the laboratory, provide a reasonable explanation as to why the condensation product is observed at all? (Note: Heat accelerates the reaction in reach equilibrium but DOES NOT directly favor the Aldol Condensation product).
Look up the pKa for water and acetone and write these values in the boxes below each molecule in the provided reaction scheme. Considering this information, which of the three reaction arrows best describes enolate formation? Considering the direction of the equilibrium from question 4, what do you think is the driving force for the aldol condensation?
Write a mechanism for the acid–catalysed condensation of acetone. Looking at the structure of this product, and of ethylenediamine, suggest how the macrocyclic ligand might form. Can you provide answer for this question, the macro ligand was prepared from ethylenediamine, 50% tetrafluoroboric acid.
Prelab questions:1. Make sure the reaction table described above is completed in your notebook.2. Two benzaldehyde molecules combine with one acetone molecule in this aldol reaction. If someone uses 5.0 mL of benzaldehyde and 2.5 mL of acetone to try to improve the yield of product, is this the correct ratio of molecules so that there is no excess? Why or why not?The Aldol Reaction: Synthesis of DibenzalacetonePurpose: Introduce the student to the hands-on chemistry of carbonyl condensations.Warning: Dispose of...
Provide a detailed, step-by-step mechanism for the base-catalyzed (-OH) reaction between two molecules of acetone to form the Aldol addition product.
What reagent loses the alpha hydrogen to become the nucleophilic carbanion? Aldol Reaction: Synthesis of trans, trans-1,5-Diphenyl-1,4. pentadien-3-one (Dibenzalacetone) In the present experiment, you will be performing a practical Aldol reaction using benzaldehyde acetone. The final condensed Aldol product (trans, trans-1,5-diphenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-one) an extensive conjugation system The first condensed Aldol benzaldehyde and acetone. The final condensed Aldol product will form when the initial Aldol product reacts with benzaldehyde resulting in 2:1 mole ratio of benzaldehyde and acetone. Addition Aldol products are...
