Q

The mechanism for the self-condensation of acetophenone is _________________

*Was on midterm in two different forms

A

Acetophenone is acetone with one of the carbons replaced by Ph

OH- removes H on alpha carbon →
Negative alpha carbon attaches to carbonyl carbon of another acetophenone, pushing electrons from the double bond to oxygen onto the oxygen atom → addition of H2O adds a H to the negative oxygen and produces OH- → OH- removes H from the same alpha carbon, producing H2O and moving the electrons from the double bond to oxygen to form a new double bond with the alpha carbon → OH- on product leaves, moving the double bond over to between the alpha carbon and where it came from and electrons on the other oxygen move back down to re-form double bond

Product is Ph-C(=O)-CH2=CH(-CH3)-Ph

the electrons from the bond the attacked carbon had to the central oxygen leave with the rest of the molecule, and the electrons on the =O come down to reform the bond

later, hydrogens are added to the part of the acetic anhydride that left, capping off the O on the end
