I. (9 points) Nomenclature: Provide a structure for the given name.

A)

2,2-diethylmalonic acid

B)

methyl acetoacetate

C)

(S)-2-ethylhexanoyl chloride

II. (14 points)

reference HCl CH 3 CH 3

pKa = -7 0 5 11 16 19 25 40 60

Use the reference scale of pKa values above to assign an approximate pKa to each

molecule below. Your answer for each should be one of the 9 numbers from the scale,

so you can figure out the pKa values by knowing only the acidity order of these

compounds. There are no duplicates.

IV. (18 points) Provide mechanisms for these reactions, showing all intermediates and all steps

including proton transfers. Show all lone pairs and formal charges. This time you

do not need to show all resonance forms.

A. (10 pts.)

B. (8 pts.) Write a mechanism. Your mechanism must show why this reaction proceeds

readily under mildly acidic conditions where ordinary secondary alcohols do not eliminate.

C. (10 pts.) Write a mechanism, showing all intermediates. Show the most significant

resonance form of each intermediate, but you need not show all resonance forms. Circle the

structure of the species present in the reaction at the end of the first step, before addition of

acid. Note that base is added in stoichiometric, not catalytic, amount.

V. A. (9 pts) Cross off the molecule(s) below that could not have been formed by an aldol

reaction. For each molecule below that could have been formed by an aldol

condensation or aldol dehydration, draw the stable precursor(s) of aldol condensation.
