Chapter 21.4, Problem 26CC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To predict the reagent used for obtaining the given set of compounds synthesized by claisen condensation.

Concept introduction:

Claisen condensation is a process where a carbon-carbon bond is formed when reaction occurs between two esters or one ester and carbonyl compound in presence of a strong base to form a β -keto ester or a β -diketone, respectively

  • Deprotonation of α carbon to form ester enolate
  • Attach of enolate ion with the carbonyl of ester or ketone (nucleophilic attack)
  • Loss of alkoxide ion to reform carbonyl

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2-SEMESTER-ACCESS, Chapter 21.4, Problem 26CC , additional homework tip  1

Please note if the considered ester is of two different types then the reaction is known as crossed-claisen condensation.  LDA is used as a base in crossed claisen condensation.

To identify : The identify the reagent used for the given compound synthesized via claisen condensation
