What is Overview of Claisen Condensation about?
The Claisen condensation is a carbon-carbon bond forming reaction that occurs between two esters or one ester and another carbonyl compound in the presence of a strong base, resulting in a β-keto ester or β-diketone. It involves the deprotonation of an ester by a strong base to form an enolate anion, which then nucleophilically attacks the carbonyl carbon of a second ester. The alkoxy group is eliminated, forming the carbon-carbon bond. Addition of acid yields the final β-keto ester or β-diketone product. T
