Question

Indicate why the reaction between acetone and 2-pentanone would not be a good method to prepare 4-methyl-3-hepten-2-one

3. Indique por qué la reacción entre acetona y 2-pentanona no sería un buen método para preparar 4-metil-3-hepten-2-ona.

Answer 1

NaOH - vi Acetone 2-Pentanone 4-methylhept-3-en-2-one The above two reactants are not gonna give single product. Because all alpha carbons to carbonyl group are reactive. Hence they are end up with multiple product formation as shown below. Hence it is not useful method to make this compound.
