Hello there,
● Propanone to 4-methyl pent-3-en-2-one -
Propanone is converted to 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one in two steps.
# Step 1 -
Two molecules of propanone combine in alkaline medium (aq.NaOH) to form 4-hydroxy-4-methylpentanone.
2 CH3-CO-CH3 ---> CH3-CO-CH2-C(OH)(CH3)2
# Step 2 -
4-hydroxy-4-methylpentanone on dehydration yields 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one.
CH3-CO-CH2-C(OH)(CH3)2 ---> CH3-CO-CH=C(CH3)2
Hope this helps you...
