    Flashcards

    Claisen Condensation

    A reaction where two ester molecules are joined together in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium alkoxide, to form a β-keto ester. The reaction involves the formation of an enolate ion from one ester molecule, which acts as a nucleophile to attack the carbonyl group of another ester molecule.

    Mixed Claisen Condensation

    A Claisen condensation where two different ester molecules are used. The reaction involves the formation of two different enolate ions, leading to a mixture of products.

    Dieckmann Reaction

    A special case of the Claisen condensation that involves the intramolecular reaction of a diester. The resulting product is a cyclic β-keto ester.

    Mannich Reaction

    A reaction that involves the condensation of an aldehyde or ketone with an enamine. This reaction forms a new carbon–carbon bond and provides a convenient way to synthesize β-amino carbonyl compounds.
