Mechanism for Claisen Condensation:

EBK ESSENTIAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 13.8, Problem 17P , additional homework tip  1

  • 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.

hybridization of nitrogen of complex molecules
Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO2 (g) = N2O4(g) AGº = -5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 4.53 atm of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) at 279. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2O4 tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO2? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to '2' rise by adding NO2? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO 2 needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 00 rise ☐ x10 fall yes no ☐ atm G Ar 1
