Identifying the Mechanism and Synthesis
When J and K are placed in a solution of sodium methoxide and methanol, a new compound, L, is produced. What is the structure of L? Provide a reasonable mechanism for this transformation. (b) Provide a reasonable mechanism for the conversion of L to M, carbon dioxide and acetone. In both mechanisms be sure to indicate which reactions are reversible and which are irreversible.
Please view the attachment for the compound structure pertaining to this question.
