Model 3: Retrosynthetic Analysis of the Aldol Condensation In retrosyntbetiç analysis (refer to CA13), the product is disconnected, or pulled apart, to determine the starting materials for the reaction. OH OH CH3 Ph CH3 + Ph ČH3 ČH3 E* Nu Product Synthons Questions: 6. Model 3 shows the partial retrosynthetic analysis of the aldol condensation. (a) Label the carbons of the product with Greek characters. At what position is the OH group? Is this product ah aldol condensation product? (Circle one) yes / no. In an aldol condensation, what position is the new bond formed between (refer to #1f)? On the product in Model 3, draw a line across the C-C bond that was formed to (b) make the aldol product. If the bond that was formed (marked in #6b) is disconnected or pulled apart, the synthons or (c) fragments, shown above are obtained. Complete these synthons by assigning a charge to the. fragment that acts as the EO and a O charge to the fragment that acts as the Nu O. (d) On an aldehyde, which carbon is the NuO and which is the EO? Check to make sure this agrees with the charges placed on the synthons in #4c.
