Chapter 23.SE, Problem 59AP
In the mixed Claisen reaction of cyclopentanone with ethyl formate, a much higher yield of the desired product is obtained by first mixing the two carbonyl components and then adding base, rather than by first mixing base with cyclopentanone and then adding ethyl formate. Explain.

The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of
formation of an enamine from a ketone,
Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and
hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
