Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Esters that cannot undergo Claisen Condensation have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Reaction of an ester having an α hydrogen with one equivalent of a base to yield a β keto ester.

Mechanism for Claisen Condensation:

EBK ESSENTIAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 13.8, Problem 18P

  • 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.
