A) Etard reaction
B) Perkin's reaction
C) Claisen condensation
D) Claisen Schmidt reaction
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
2 molecules of ester condense to give\[\beta -\]keto ester, in presence of alkali. This reaction is called Claisen condensation\[2C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\xrightarrow{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa}\]\[\underset{ethyl\text{ }aceto\text{ }acetate}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]You need to login to perform this action.
