stephen13252 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi, please could anyone start me off with the questions below? I'm a bit lost with it to be honest, not even sure what compound E acts as. https://imgur.com/a/zMfqf7q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 What do you think compound E is? Could you draw it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thanks for your response. I think I've managed to figure out all of the displayed structures, but I'm still not sure what compound E would be. Please could you give me a hint on which of the 4 options it is? Thanks. Also, when it says the most acidic proton, am I correct in saying it's either one of the two H atoms that are bonded to the carbon atom in between the two carbonyl groups, in compound H?

hypervalent_iodine Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Think about what sort of reagent KOH is and what it might do to the starting compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
