Chapter 23: Q23-11P (page 766)

Show the products you would expect to obtain by Claisen condensation of the following esters:(a) (CH3)2CHCH2CO2Et (b) Ethyl phenylacetate (c) Ethyl cyclohexyl acetate

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction between two ester molecules is known asThe Claisen condensation reaction.When an ester with α-hydrogen is treated with 1 equivalent of a base such as sodium ethoxide, a reversible carbonyl condensation reaction occurs to yield a β-keto ester.
