Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of product formed by the treatment of ethyl acetoacetate with the given reagents is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction.

In nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking on the electron deficient carbon atom.

The ketone shown was prepared in a three-step sequence from ethyl trifluoroacetate. The first step in the sequence involved treating ethyl trifluoroacetate with ammonia to give compound A. Compound A was in turn converted to the desired ketone by way of compound B. Fill in the missing reagents in the sequence shown, and give the structures of compounds A and B.
Suggest reasonable explanations for each of the following: A. The rate of saponification of ethyl p-nitrobenzoate is 200 times faster than that of ethyl p-methoxybenzoate. B. The rate of saponification of methyl acetate, CH3CCO2CH3 is 50 times greater than that for isopropylacetate.
The following questions pertain to the esters shown and behavior under conditions of the Claisen condensation.(a) Two of these esters are converted to β-keto esters in good yield on treatment with sodium ethoxide and subsequent acidification of the reaction mixture. Which two are these? Write the structure of the Claisen condensation product of each one. (b) One ester is capable of being converted to a β-keto ester on treatment with sodium ethoxide, but the amount of β-keto ester that can be isolated after acidification of the reaction mixture is quite small. Which ester is this? (c) One ester is incapable of reaction under conditions of the Claisen condensation. Which one? Why?
