(a)
Interpretation:
The major product of the given crossed Claisen condensation has to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In crossed claisen condensation, the enolisable ester is deprotonated by alkoxide ion. This enolate ion undergoes a nucleophilic acyl substitution with non-enolisable ester to give a beta-keto ester. It is deprotonated by an alkoxide ion followed by protonation to give beta-keto ester. In this reaction, the electrophilic component is ester without alpha hydrogens.
