Mechanism for C6H10O2 to 1-cyclopentenecarbaldehyde
« on: April 22, 2020, 09:44:07 PM »
I've seen this reaction in many places but can't seem to figure out the proper arrow pushing and mechanism to get it. Any help is highly appreciated! Thank you!  :)

Most textbooks and many websites show aldol condensation mechanisms. Usually, they are intermolecular reactions, but this reaction is intramolecular - that's all. Adipic dialdehyde is a very reactive substance and you need a special catalyst for the good yield.
