The reaction below shows a Claisen condensation.

**Reaction:**

\[ 2 \, \text{CH}_3\text{COEt} \quad \overset{1. \, \text{EtO}^{-}\text{Na}^+}{\longrightarrow} \overset{2. \, \text{H}_2\text{O, HCl}}{\longrightarrow} \quad \text{CH}_3\text{CCH}_2\text{COEt} + \text{EtOH} \]

- **Ethyl ethanoate (ethyl acetate):** \( \text{CH}_3\text{COEt} \) 
- **Ethyl 3-oxobutanoate (Ethyl acetoacetate):** \( \text{CH}_3\text{CCH}_2\text{COEt} \)
- **Ethanol:** \( \text{EtOH} \)

**Mechanism:**

Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in the step of the mechanism shown below.

**Diagram Description:**

- The diagram features an arrow-pushing instruction visual, illustrating electron movement.
- The first structure shows \( \text{CH}_3\text{COEt} + \text{CH}_2\text{COEt} \).
  - A curved arrow is drawn from the alpha carbon hydrogen of the first molecule to the oxygen of the carbonyl, indicating deprotonation.
- This results in a resonance-stabilized tetrahedral intermediate:
  - In the intermediate, the deprotonated form (\( \text{C}^- \)) of the alpha carbon is shown forming a bond with the carbonyl carbon of the second molecule, resulting in a negative charge on the oxygen.
  - The structure displays a formation of \( \text{CH}_3\text{C}^- \text{CH}_2\text{COEt} \).

**Note:** This intermediate is referred to as a "tetrahedral carbonyl addition intermediate."
