Chapter 21:Ester Enolates Fatty acid biosynthesis carbon chain extended by 2, can go up to C16, C18, C20 iteratively
21 – Deprotonation alpha to ester Choice of base is important
21 – Intermolecular acylation – the Claisen reaction b-keto ester Both enolate and ester present in mixture
21 – Examples of the Claisen reaction 2 a-H required to send reaction to the Claisen product Always need acid in second step to quench anion
21 – Intramolecular version – the Dieckmann reaction Intramolecular Claisen condensation results – cycle formed
21 – Crossed (mixed) Claisen reactions Problem: Solution:
