In the mechanism of the Claisen condensation reaction, which step is the one that drives the reaction to completion? O Step 4 - deprotonation of the beta-ketoester to form another enolate O Step 2 - attack of the nucleophilic enolate on a second equivalent of ester to form a tetrahedral intermediate O Step 1 - deprotonation of the ester to form an enolate Step 3 - collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate to form a beta-ketoester Step 5 - protonation of the second enolate to reform the beta-ketoester

In the following reaction mechanism, what best describes the role of the Grignard reagent? 0 +CH₂MgBr 1) ether 2) H3O* The Grignard reagent acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon. The Grignard reagent acts as an electrophile and is attacked by the oxygen. The Grignard reagent is first protonated by the acid. The Grignard reagent acts as a nucleophile and removes a proton from the methyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon.
