Chapter 13, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mechanism of the given reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Claisen Condensation is the reaction of an ester having α hydrogen with one equivalent of a base to yield a β keto ester.

Mechanism for Claisen Condensation:

EBK ESSENTIAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 13, Problem 41P

  • A base abstracts a proton from the αcarbon forms enolate ion.
  • The enolate ion gets attached to the carbonyl carbon of another ester.
  • The negative charge on oxygen of the carbonyl group reforms, by removing an alkoxide ion.

How close are the Mulliken and Pauling electronegativity scales? (a) Now that the ionization energies and electron affinities have been defined, calculate the Mulliken and Pauling electronegativities for C, N, O and F. Compare them. (Make the necessary adjustments to the values, such as dividing the ionization energies and electron affinities by 230kj/mol) (b) Plot both sets of electronegativities against atomic number (use the same graph). (c) Which scale depends most consistently on position in the Periodic Table?
