c. if commericially acquired it will not need to undergo purification

d. chromotography

3. In the tandem Aldol Condensation–Michael Addition sequence the aldol reaction involves which two compounds?

b. 2 molecules of acetophenone and one molecule of 2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde

2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde and Acetophenone

4.

In the tandem Aldol Condensation–Michael Addition sequence the Michael Reaction involves which two compounds?

2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde reacts with Acetophenone

Acetophenone reacts with 2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde

Acetophenone reacts with the condensation product of 2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde and acetophenone

2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde reacts with the condensation product of 2 molecules of acetophenone

5. Michael addition is the addition of a nucleophile to a alpha, beta unsaturated ketone. In this reaction this unsaturation arises from __________________.

6.

Why is 2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde is employed instead of benzaldehyde in the Tandem Aldol Michael reaction?

2?Pyridinecarboxaldehyde synthon provides a pyridine ring on the alkene after the aldol reaction. This pyridine ring is electron donating and an electron donating groups on the alkene of the of the Michael acceptor facilitates the Michael Reaction.
