  1. Chapter 21Ester Enolates

  2. O O C C R C OR' H H Introduction • The preparation and reactions of b-dicarbonyl compounds, especially b-keto esters, is the main focus of this chapter. • A proton on the carbon flanked by the two carbonyl groups is relatively acidic, easily and quantitatively removed by alkoxide ions.

  16. •• •• O O •• •• – •• CH3C CH2 OCH2CH3 COCH2CH3 •• •• Mechanism Step 3: • The product at this point is ethyl acetoacetate. • However, were nothing else to happen, the yield of ethyl acetoacetate would be small because the equilibrium constant for its formation is small. • Something else does happen. Ethoxide abstracts a proton from the CH2 group to give a stabilized anion. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is favorable. +
