(a)
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the given reaction and the major product are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a Claisen condensation reaction, an ester with at least two
If the base, in a Claisen condensation, is nucleophilic, it should be identical to the alkoxide leaving group on the ester. If the solvent can be deprotonated to become strongly nucleophilic, it should be the conjugate acid of the base that is used.
(b)
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the given reaction and the major product are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a Claisen condensation reaction, an ester with at least two
If the base in a Claisen condensation is nucleophilic, it should be identical to the alkoxide leaving group on the ester. If the solvent can be deprotonated to become strongly nucleophilic, it should be the conjugate acid of the base that is used.
In a crossed Claisen condensation reaction, the enolate anion that acts as the nucleophile derives from an ester that is different from the ester it attacks.

Draw and label all possible isomers for [M(py)3(DMSO)2(CI)] (py = pyridine, DMSO dimethylsulfoxide).arrow_forwardThe emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
