    The Claisen condensation reaction is given by:

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]      

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}Cl\]

    D)        \[HCHO\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The claisen condensation is given by\[C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]. Two molecules of ethyl acetate condense to produce ethyl ace tone elate. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Ethyl\,\,acetate \\  (2molecules) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,+H\,\,C{{H}_{2}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] \[\xrightarrow{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa}\underset{Ethyl\,\,acetoacetate}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{2}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\]
