The reaction shown in Equation PE 27.4 is known as the Stobbe condensation. Propose a mechanism for the reaction, accounting for the fact that the product has one ester group and one carboxylate function.

Question 2

Design a synthesis of the amino acid below using the Erlenmeyer-Plochl synthesis (Equations E27.5 and E27.6). Show the structures of all isolable intermediates.

Question 3

In the Perkin reaction shown in Equation E27.2, a small amount of styrene is formed. Propose a mechanism for the formation of this minor product. Hint: Examine the mechanism outlined in Figure E27.3 and determine if there is some point at which the alkoxide could react differently than is shown in the figure.
