Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that the third and fourth steps in the synthesis of Hagemann’s ester from ethyl acetoacetate are intramolecular aldol cyclization to yield a substituted cyclohexenone and a decarboxylation reaction. Both reactions are to be shown and products of each step are to be shown.
Concept introduction:
In intramolecular aldol reactions dicarbonyl compounds such as diketones react with a base to yield a cyclic enone as the products. The reaction occurs in three steps i) Abstraction of α-hydrogen by a base to yield an enolate anion ii) Attack of the anion on the carbonyl carbon in the same molecule iii) Protonation of the alkoxide intermediate.
A β-ketoacid normally eliminates CO2 on heating.
To show:
The third and fourth steps in the synthesis of Hagemann’s ester from ethyl acetoacetate, the intramolecular aldol cyclization to yield a substituted cyclohexenone and a decarboxylation reaction and further to show the products of these reactions.

- The acetoacetic ester synthesis is a carbonyl alkylation reaction. It is used to prepare methyl ketones from primary alkyl halides, lengthening the carbon chain by three atoms. Thus, the product can be visualized as being a "substituted acetone." The reaction consists of three steps: generation of the enolate anion followed by SN2 reaction with a primary alkyl halide, ester hydrolysis under acid conditions, and decarboxylation. Br H₂C H3C 1.

- Several sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation.
