Is a step-wise approach, such as that outlined below, needed to accomplish this aldol reaction? Why? LDA CH3CH2CHO a) Yes, to ensure proper enolate formation and limit product mixtures b) Yes, to ensure proper enolate formation as the only reason c) Yes, to limit product mixtures only d) No, this reaction would work well under one-pot conditions with NaOH (aq)

1. Predict the products from the two different reactions of the starting enone with two different organometallic reagents below. Assume aqueous workup. 2. In acidic deuterated water, D3O+, hydrogens are exchanged for deuterium via the keto-enol equilibrium. Provide the fully deuterated products of the reactions below. 3a. Two carbonyl compounds each with 5 carbons will produce the aldol product below. Determine the structure of the starting materials. 3b. Deprotonation with strong base lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) at low temperatures followed by addition of 3-bromo-1-pentene yields the ketone shown on the right. Predict the starting material. 4. Develop a reasonable, arrow-pushing reaction mechanism that explains the formation of the aldol condensation product below.
