Question
What product would you expect from the following mixed Claisen-like reaction?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The product from the above reactants when they undergo a mixed Claisen-like reaction are acetate and alcohol.
1Concept
A mixed Claisen reaction is effective when only one of the two partners has an acidic α- hydrogen atom and the other does not.
therefore, one form of acetate can convert into an enolate ion hence one is a donor and another is an accepter.
