Figure 23.4 - Mechanism of the Claisen Condensation Reaction. 3 The tetrahedral intermediate expels ethoxide ion to yield a new carbonyl compound, ethyl acetoacetate. 4 But ethoxide ion is a strong enough base to deprotonate ethyl acetoacetate, shift- ing the equilibrium and driving the overall reaction to completion. 5 Protonation of the enolate ion by addition of aqueous acid in a separate step yields the final 3-keto ester product.

An unknown compound is treated with peroxyacetic acid in dilute sulfuric acid. The product of reaction 1 is reacted with excess PBr3 , then excess NaNH2 (reaction 3). The product of reaction 3 is treated with lithium, then n-butylbromide (reaction 4). In reaction 5 the product of reaction 4 is reacted with ozone, then NaHSO3. This final reaction produced 2 acids, propanoic acid and pentanoic acid. What was the original unknown compouond?
