    The final product Methyl pent-4-enoate is synthesized from Methyl Acetate as a starting material.

    In step one, Methyl Acetate is reacted with Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) (1) which acts as a base and abstracts the acidic proton from methyl group next to carbonyl in Methyl Acetate.

    In second step, The enolate formed acts as a nucleophile and undergoes SN² reaction with 3-Bromoprop-1-ene (2) and produces Methyl pent-4-enoate.

    The reaction is given below,
