Intramolecular aldol condensation : The aldol condensation also offer a convenient way to synthesize molecules with five and six membered ring.This can be done by an intramolecular aldol condensation using a dialdehyde, a keto aldehyde or a diketone as the substrate.The major product is formed by the attack of the enolate from the ketone side of the molecule that adds to the aldehyde group.The reason the aldehyde group undergoes addition preferentially may arise from the greater reactivity of aldehyde towards nucleophilic addition.In reaction of this type five membered rings from far more readily than seven membered rings and six membered rings are more favourable than four or eight membered rings when possible.

Certain dicarboxylic acids spontaneously eliminate water when heated forming cycioc anhydirides. But for the reaction to be successfully. The cyclic anhydrides product must normally have a ring size of fivee or six members. There are two important reasons, first, the second carboxyl group can serve as the acid catalyst (by intramolecular proton transfer), as well as the nucleophile. And second, the high temperature involved reduce the need for catalyst. Which of the following dicarboxylic acid will not for cyclic anhydrides?
