PRE-LAB QUIZ for EXPERIMENT 27 Name 1. In Experiment 27, a modified Perkin reaction is performed. The Perkin reaction is a carbonyl condensation reaction that is related to the Claisen condensation and aldol condensation. In this experiment, the reactants are benzaldehyde and 3-benzoylpropionic acid with sodium acetate and acetic anhydride as catalysts. Draw the structures of these compounds in the space below. benzaldehyde 3-benzoylpropionic acid acetic anhydride 2. The first step of the reaction is the formation of the mixed...
