Question

Diethyl malonate on treatment with one mole of C2H5ONa followed by reaction with one mole of 5-bromoethyl pentanoate produces A(C14H24O6). A on heating with dilute H2SO4 yields B(C7H12O4). B on treatment with excess of C2H5OH in presence of catalytic amount of H2SO4 yields C(C11H20O4). C on treatment with one mole of EtONa followed by workup with dilute HCl yields D(C9H14O3). D on further treatment with one mole EtONa followed by reaction with CH3I yields E(C10H16O3). E on heating with HCl yields 2-methylcyclohexanone. Deduce structures of A to E.

Solution

  • Conc. H2SO4 wll break the ester bond
  • Further heat will remove one COOH group from compound A that will result in B
