Chapter 18.13, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given following esters which cannot undergo claisen condensation has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: When two molecules of an ester undergo condensation is called claisen condensation.  Like in aldol reaction, in claisen condensation one molecule is a nucleophile and the other molecule is an electrophile.

A claisen condensation reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base.

The first step of claisen condensation is the removal of a proton from alpha carbon by a base and then the addition of enolate ion formed to the second ester molecule forming a β-ketoester.
