PRACTICE PROBLEM 19.1
(a) Write a mechanism. for all steps of the Claisen condensation that take place when ethyl propanoate reacts with ethoxide ion.
(b) What products form when the reaction mixture is acidified?

Interpretation: The mechanism for all the steps of Claisen condensation when ethyl propanate reacts with ethoxide ion is to be written and when the reaction mixture acidified the product of the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The Claisen condensation is the carbon-carbon bond forming reaction and important for the preparing
In Claisen condensation ester of one molecule adds to the carbonyl carbon of the another molecule and formation of
