The Claisen condensation converts two molecules of an ester into a ß-keto ester. The reaction starts with the ester in an alkoxide/alcohol solution and is worked up with acid to form the neutral ß-keto ester product. 1. "OCH,CH3 / CH3CH,OH 2 2. H3O* Show the curved-arrow mechanism for the Claisen condensation of ethyl ethanoate treated with ethoxide ion. Include all formal charges and nonbonding electrons. In each step, draw only the species that react in that step. If an enolate resonance form is possible, draw only the carbanionic form. If a CH; group is being deprotonated, draw all H's on the reacting site. Tip: always omit ethanol byproducts.

Butanone undergoes a nucleophilic addition with a Grignard reagent made from 1-bromopropane and magnesium metal in THF solution. The alkoxide formed from the nucleophilic addition is then conveted into the final product by the careful addition of dilute acid. Complete the mechanism by following the instructions provided for each step. Step 1. Nucleophilic Addition in THF

Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
