Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for the observation that Claisen and Dieckmann condensation reaction requires one full equivalent of base is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In Claisen condensation reaction two esters or one ester and a carbonyl compound react together to form
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for the observation that phenylacetate does not undergo Claisen condensation with one equivalent of sodium phenoxide whereas ethyl acetate readily undergoes Claisen condensation with one equivalent of sodium ethoxide is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In Claisen condensation reaction two esters or one ester and a carbonyl compound react together to form
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason for the observation that aldol condensation is catalyzed by acid, but Claisen condensation not catalyze is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In Claisen condensation reaction two esters or one ester and a carbonyl compound react together to form
