Answer #1

Claisen condensation doesn't move with the Compounds having only one alpha Hydrogen since the driving force effect of deprotonation of the beta keto ester(it is the commn product of Claisen condensation). Hence F can't undergo Claisen condensation.

While E does since it has 3 alpha Hydrogens.

14. Same reason as in 12. For the formation of H , Hydrogen has to replace from single alpha Side which is not possible.
