Question
Chapter 22.12, Problem 22.37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanism for the self condensation of methyl 3-phenylpropionate with sodium methoxide base is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
In the claisen-ester condensation, nucleophilic acyl substitution takes place on an ester. The enolate ion acts as a nucleophile. It attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Acidity of beta-keto ester products is higher than simple
