Self condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide
yields
A
ethyl butyrate
B
acetoacetic ester
C
methyl acetoacetate
D
ethyl propionate
Answer :
acetoacetic ester
On condensation, two moles of ethyl acetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide, gives ethyl acetoacetate (ester). This condensation is an example of Claisen condensation because it is possible in those ester which have $$\alpha $$ - hydrogen atom.
