Interpretation:
The conversion of benzoic acid to 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanone by the help of a lithium diorganocopper reagent has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
When two molecules of an ester undergo condensation, then it 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.

- Claisen condensation between diethyl phthalate and ethyl acetate followed by saponification, acidification, and decarboxylation forms a diketone, C9H6O2. Propose structural formulas for compounds A and B and the diketone.arrow_forwardThe pKa of phenol is 10.0 and the pKa of para-nitrophenol is 7.2. Given this information, one knows that The conjugate base of para-nitrophenol must be less stable than the conjugate base of phenol The conjugate acid of para-nitrophenol must be more stable than the conjugate base of phenol The conjugate base of para-nitrophenol must be more stable than the conjugate base of phenol Both acids are basesarrow_forwardReaction of p-nitroaniline with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid at 0 °C, followed by treatment with N,N-diethylaniline.arrow_forward
