4. (2 pts) Consider the enolate forming reaction below. Provide the structure of the enolate anion...
Claisen Condensations Claisen condensations involve the enolate anion of an ester which acts as a nucleophile attacking another molecule of ester. The resulting product of this reaction is a Beta-ketoester. Draw the enolate anion which serves as the nucleophile in the reaction above. Draw the resonance structure of this enolate. Look at the mechanism of this reaction in your textbook (7^th edition), pages 773-774. What type of reaction does this resemble, S_N1,S_N2, E1, or E2? Ethanol is one of the...

Consider the reaction below. Understanding what you know about resonance stabilities provides the 2 possible carbocations and the resonance structures of H+ addition to the reactant. Circle the carbocation that is the major product due to resonance stabilities. Provide the 1, 2 and 1, 4 products of that carbocation: Why did you pick that carbocation? Provide the 2 unlikely products of 1, 2 and 1, 4 additions from the other carbocation intermediate not chosen above. Hopefully you noted that the...
