Claisen condensation. 1,3-dicarbonyls (4)

[sa2uklost]

Thanks for your videos they've helped me a lot! I don't understand why you have made the correction to the equilibrium arrows though- this is still an equilibrium step in my opinion. The deprotonation just drives the equilibrium and therefore he reaction to completion where you can add an aqueous acid to 're-protonate' to for a beta keto product. So really the deprotonation accounts for the high yields obtained from Claisen condensation. Please correct me if I'm wrong I'm only an undergrad ty

thank you for this help, its helped me to much..

But in 10:00 i think you should write a plus instead for equilibrium.

again thank u
