Q23-11P
Question
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
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The reaction between two ester molecules is known as The 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.
