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

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
