Annulation and eliminations
« on: October 23, 2013, 07:23:56 PM »
In the top of the img is the reaction, and below is my attempt.



What am I missing here? How can that ketone be "eliminated" with those conditions?

Is "pent-3-en-2-ona" a typo or is the rest of the word cut off?  That could make a huge difference

That's easy, it doesn't  ;)
There is a hydroxy group missing in the target molecule, the ketone is just enolizing to form an aromatic System.
That's a Standard hauser annulation if you want to look it up.

Not a typo, it's pent-3-en-2-one in Spanish.

That's what I thought. Thanks.
